Trace events are used by our command line tools too qemu-img, qemu-io,
qemu-nbd, qemu-pr-helper, qemu-storage-daemon.

What build scenario are you seeing that does NOT want the trace events
to be present ?   If there is any, then I might even call that situation
a bug, as we want trace events to be available as a debugging mechanism
for everything we build.

With regards,
Daniel
