That's a first. A message forums that watches our list and doubles as an |

Anyways, your answer is, unfortunately, no. I've discovered the usefulness of |
| 12 |
ltrace many a time on x86, but ltrace is one of those unique programs that needs |
| 13 |
some porting before it can run on a new architecture. There's documentation |
| 14 |
within the ltrace source explaining what information it needs to properly run on |
| 15 |
a new architecture, but I've discovered that this documentation is not very |
| 16 |
clear on how to properly obtain the information and put it to use within ltrace. |

As such, ltrace will have to simply sit in the dust bin of time until someone |
| 19 |
with the skill gets an inclination to port it to mips (and sparc, which could |
| 20 |
also use it). |
