Pass input to "strings" via stdin.

That disables any "clever" parsing that will fail if strings
was not updated to support that particular binary format.
This can easily happen when cross-compiling, but obviously
strings on OSX 10.6 was never update to handle the latest
(64 bit) binary format either and would previously just fail
(the obvious way of falling back to the generic algorithm in
that case would have been too user-friendly I guess...)
