Doesn't this decrease coverage considerably on systems or platforms
where strace does not work/exist?
A fair point, though gcc + LD_PRELOAD limits portability also,
essentially restricting to Linux.
Also this test is more a dev focused test than a system focused one.
I.e. focused on the behavior of the source, rather than
some sytem behavioral test.
Also strace is installed by default on OpenSuse,
and through the c-development group or developer-workstation-environment on
Fedora,
or directly by folks trying to minimize skips.
We could support both methods in the test of course,
though I thought it was overkill in this case.
cheers,
