This INSTALL file comes directly from GNU Automake, it's intended
for those who build the package from tarball.

To build strace "from git", one has to run ./bootstrap script first.
This is mentioned in README-hacking, but not in INSTALL file,
which is somewhat confusing.

Perhaps it would be better to create a separate file with instructions how
to build strace "from git" and reference INSTALL from there.

Alternatively, we can modify INSTALL file, but the new wording shouldn't
be confusing to those who build strace from tarball.

We prefer patches sent to this mailing list.
