In case you really want to build strace with gcov instrumentation for code coverage, e.g. to collect strace code coverage yourself, similar to https://codecov.io/gh/strace/strace, you indeed have to configure with --enable-code-coverage option that requires lcov >= 1.6. In case you use lcov > 1.12, e.g. the most recent lcov from https://github.com/linux-test-project/lcov.git, you need strace >= v4.18-97-gacd8671, too. Note that strace built with gcov instrumentation is not suited for normal use: it runs noticeably slower and produces a lot of *.gcno and *.gcda files. -- ldv
