I am trying to understand the limitations of using strace on a uClinux system.
Ubicom is a semi-conductor company with a mutli-threaded CPU design using a custom ISA. We have recently ported and released uClinux running on our processors. We have a port of strace to the platform. However, strace hangs when using the -f or -F options. strace launches the child (rygel in this case) but is unable to follow the vfork() and clones() that follow. The system winds up in a state when strace is sleeping, the child is in a tracing stop state and "it's children" are all zombies. Any information regarding strace's ability to follow children in a NOMMU config is greatly appreciated.
