 It's a debugging tool - strace system calls and signals.

 Freshmeat is pointing to a very old version, but hopefully you can
access it at
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/strace/strace-4.5.18.tar.bz

 On non-multilib, just CMMI.  On multilib, configure with CC="gcc
${BUILD64}" after ensuring BUILD64 is set (-m64 on my arches, but
YMMV).  Maybe it's in cblfs.  Don't forget to read the man page.

 You will often (particularly on graphical apps which spend most of
the time waiting for input) get a *lot* of output from it - the
syntax highlighting and general colour in 'view' seem to make it
a bit less impenetrable (if you are comfortable with your vim
colours).
