If you're interested in ltrace, you may want to take a look at the
Linux trace toolkit (http://www.opersys.com/LTT). It runs fine
on PPC too.

Best regards,

Hi,

ltrace is a cool little program for tracing library calls. I ported it
to ppclinux a while ago but the ltrace maintainer seems to have ignored
my patch.

For anyone interested the patch can be found at:

http://linuxcare.com.au/anton/patches/ltrace_ppc_patch

It should apply cleanly to the latest source (I got mine from the debian
archive).

You did?  Wow!  I spent ages trying to do this...

Oh, looking at your patch I remember what happened.  It's a bloody
miracle that ltrace works at all on any architecture; the PLT tricks
that the PPC plays are not at all uncommon, as I recall.  I got
derailed trying to make it insert breakpoints at the proper time.

Thanks for the patch; I'll probably keep bugging the author about
this...

Dan
