Bug#896016: strace: please make the build reproducible

Followup-For: Bug #896016
X-Debbugs-Cc: lamby at debian.org, reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

Looking at the Reproducible Builds build history[1] for strace on Debian,
all _successful_ builds I see between Y2019 and today, across all four
architectures listed (amd64, arm64, armhf, i386) have produced reproducible
results.

As a result of that, I agree that the Apr 2018 fix[2] (released Jun 2018)
mentioned by Chris has provided reproducibility for strace.

Unfortunately there are plenty of FTBFS failures -- mostly test timeouts on
some architectures, alongside libfaketime errors that seem to affect i386 --
but those seem like separate problems.  Perhaps we could close this bug?
