xprobe fails to cross build from source, because it does not propagate
the C++ cross compiler, that is correctedly detected by ./configure, to
the various sub Makefiles. The cause quite simply is a missing variable
substitution. Close to the end, it runs the build architecture strip.
Stripping is bad, because it also breaks generation of -dbgsym packages.
The attached patch adds the missing interpolations and removes the strip
call. It makes xprobe cross buildable. Please consider applying it.
