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...
