Subject: bug#50346: core-updates-frozen: strace 5.13 fails "make check" on AArch64
Date: Thu, 02 Sep 2021 18:41:12 -0400
Patching strace to add a "--trace-path" parameter to the two tests'
definitions as in the patch below seems to fix this issue on both
AArch64 and x86-64, and is less drastic than disabling the tests
altogether.

The changes limit strace's output during testing to only calls affecting
files in the test directory itself, effectively filtering out the
'readlink("/proc/self/exe")' call from glibc that is throwing the tests
currently.  You can see a number of other places in gen_tests.in where
this is done, presumably for similar reasons.

Does this seem reasonable?
