Released tarballs are produced by "make-dist" script, which essentially does
"autoreconf -f", "configure --enable-maintainer-mode" and "make distcheck",
which in turn pack some additional autotools- and git-generated files, and
leave some git-only files out.

There should be no problem to build strace from a git checkout, just have
a look at "make-dist" script.  "autoreconf -if && ./configure && make"
should be enough in most cases.  One can expect that HEAD always builds
and works at least on x86-64.

Said that, we probably should consider releasing strace more often.
