I never managed to make ltrace build correctly, partly because I don't have
use of it.

I'm afraid that the culprit is not necessarily ltrace. If I remember
correctly, libelf doesn't play nicely with cross-building... :-(

Unfortunately, the latest libelf is 0.8.10, and is more than a year old
now (20070907). I'll look at the Debian patchset for libelf. Also, they
seem to be using ltrace-0.5 (when crosstool-NG still uses at best 0.4).

I have a little time today, and I'll try to finally bang on libelf/ltrace
hard enough to make it build. I'd appreciate it if you could also look into
this...
