POSIX.1 disagrees with you :)

(`strace' has always made more sense to me as a name than `truss'. I
can't tell what `truss' is meant to stand for, but `strace' -> `system
trace' is much clearer.

And then there's OSF/1, which has `strace': it's a STREAMS tracer. It
has a buggy strace port, but you have to dig around on the net for it.)
