Comment (by thomie):

 Can you give instructions to reproduce the problem. What do you mean
 precisely with "anything from the source distribution"?

 I tried the following (using HEAD), and it seems to work as expected:
 {{{
 $ DESTDIR=/tmp/install make install
 $ DESTDIR=/tmp/install-strip make install-strip
 }}}

 {{{
 $ file /tmp/install/usr/local/lib/ghc-8.1.20160521/bin/ghc
 ... ELF 64-bit LSB executable ... not stripped
 $ file /tmp/install-strip/usr/local/lib/ghc-8.1.20160521/bin/ghc
 ... ELF 64-bit LSB executable ... stripped
 }}}
