Installs the unstripped bin/horizon-eda executable

Warning: 'bin/horizon-eda' is not stripped consider trying INSTALL_TARGET=install-strip or using ${STRIP_CMD}

Every linux distro I'm aware of (at least debian and arch) take care of stripping binaries during packaging, so I consider this to be a non-issue.

No, they have to do this by hand or not care about stripping at all. This is why this warning is there.

Arch Linux at least automatically strips binaries during packaging. Flatpak does so as well and extracts debug symbols while doing so.

In fact, make install installing non-stripped binaries is intended behaviour: https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html

Do not strip executables when installing them.

Feel free to open a PR that adds the install-strip target if FreeBSD (guessing from context, should have been mentioned) really needs it.

I don't think so. Arch just runs make install.

This document contains the paragraph:

‘install-strip’

    Like install, but strip the executable files while installing them. In simple cases, this target can use the install target in a simple way:

    install-strip:
            $(MAKE) INSTALL_PROGRAM='$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) -s' \
                    install

You don't have the install-strip target.

I don't think so. Arch just runs make install.

Arch linux's makepkg strips the binaries itself after make install runs and before the final package is compressed. This is what most linux distros do. I'm sure everyone would be happy to add an install-strip target, however it's not a bug that such a target doesn't exist, only a feature request.

I'm really curious why FreeBSD needs such a target while any other package manager doesn't. How does FreeBSD handle the creation of debug symbol packages?

This is because packages can be built with and without debug info. This is triggered from the port, and most GNU make projects strip binaries themselves because they have the install-strip target. Blanket stripping isn't good because it would be double-stripping in many cases.
