Thank you much, procfs events really helps !

To make truss work without procfs mounted, it's easy
to cut 1 line of PIOCBIS procfs_ioctl() code and
put it to a new PTRACE_SYSCALL ptrace() request - 
really it is a same things with different names.

Then replace all open/read/write/close with respective
ptrace() calls and umount /proc =)

I want port to work on older FreeBSD systems too, so now 
I'll use fcntl.h.
