Thinking about ltrace-0.5.3

[Joachim Nilsson]

Hi Yann!

I've been looking into integrating the latest ltrace, 0.5.3, with 
crosstool-NG.  It seems the maintainer has purged GNU Autotools from the 
tree and is now using a home baked configure et al.

This _could_ mean a fundamental change to 
scripts/build/debug/400-ltrace.sh, since --host and --build no longer 
apply, or some clever special handling, similar to "if [ version -gt 
0.5.3 ]", unless you decide to drop support for all prior ltrace versions?

How would you like to proceed?  Maybe you have some similar 
version-exception handling for other packages that you can recommend me 
looking at.

The "heavy lifting" of adapting 0.5.3 to cross-building seems to be done 
already by the openembedded guys, so it's more of a integration with 
crosstool-NG issue.
