gh-127076: Disable strace tests under LD_PRELOAD (#127086) Distribution tooling (ex. sandbox on Gentoo and fakeroot on Debian) uses LD_PRELOAD to intercept system calls and potentially modify them when building. These tools can change the set of system calls, so disable system call testing under these cases.
