Sounds like there is a value add for such a port. I don't think we'd
reject it should it be submitted.

Hmm, we've got ktrace already. Where's the difference?
strace (trace on SunOS, truss on Solaris) is much less clumsy to use, just
say strace -p <pid>, watch system calls go by, and detach with INTR.
ktrace wants a file (bad) and needs separate command (kdump) to watch what
was going on (too late).
ktrace has more features, probably, but I do miss (s)trace, it has been
really helpful tracking down various problems.
