The strace.h file has been c++ only since March 7.
Personally, I think it was a mistake to expose strace to external
programs. IMO, this is an "OS" interface.
However, for now, you'll need to use c++ to access strace.
I've recently also made changes to accomodate some newer gccs which
have deprecated some of the usages that I'd relied on in the header.
FYI, DJ, Corinna, and I are at a meeting this week, so our responses
to email will be pretty slow.
