I've accumulated a handful of patches to cope with some failures here,
fwiw:
http://repo.or.cz/w/buildroot.git?a=tree;f=package/strace;hb=master
(I've sent those to this list some time ago but don't remember any
feedback).
The only hunk that i'm undecided on is the strace-undef-syscall.patch
which was needed for ARM_EABI which doesn't declare those obsolescent
syscalls: Should they be cought nevertheless like the patch does, or
should they be unavailable if the respective syscalls are unavailable
(since suddenly going EABI->OABI will do no good anyway)?

thanks and cheers,
Bernhard
