Incompatible with Debian 10/strace version 4.26

[mukoan]

I can't get a working recipe, it seems that my application doesn't get run by the tool and it's caused by strace failing.

My system is Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster), Linux 4.19.0-18-amd64, x86-64

$ appimage-builder --generate

My application does not start.

If I run the line with strace, i.e. $ /usr/bin/strace -f -E LD_LIBRARY_PATH= -e trace=openat --status=successful /home/emptystate/Moof/AppImages/foobar/AppDir/usr/bin/foobar $@

then the output is

/usr/bin/strace: invalid option -- '-'
Try '/usr/bin/strace -h' for more information.

$ strace -V
strace -- version 4.26

This version does not seem to support the --status parameter. Running the strace command as specified by appimage-builder but without this parameter runs my application successfully.

It seems we would need to check the strace version before using it.
