You should not compile the ffmpeg releases, they are outdated (July 9, 2004).

Instead use the cvs version as proposed at the download page:

cvs -z9 -d:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/ffmpeg co ffmpeg

If not available on you system, you need to download and install cvs as well!

Maybe I am wrong, but your compilation and linkage was successfull!? Strip is 
just  a small programm deleting all unnecessary debugging symbols. Afaik 
ffmpeg will also work without "strip"ing it (if everything else in the build 
process was successful).
