I'm having a look at this.

In a preliminary check I found that about half the testsuite failures
were caused by a kernel bug in the ptrace handling of any syscalls
returning ENOSYS. The bug was fixed in 4.3 so testing strace on kernels
older than that probably isn't a good idea. There are still some other
failures though
