Hi, I submitted some patches for strace on ppc a few months ago but nothing has happened. The worst one is the fact that strace tries to insert an intel assembly instruction in order to lock a child process in a busy loop. This makes the -f option completely unreliable.
Can someone do an NMU for this? Id like to get a reliable strace back. I cant find my bug report (do bug reports ever disappear?) but someone else has reported it recently: #153750: strace: Bogus LOOP for PowerPC Also this will fix a problem with IPC syscalls: #144326: strace on ppc linux misreports IPC syscalls Anton
