I don't agree.
Firstly, 'ltrace' doesn't require the program to be required. So, you
can use it immediately. No downloading of the source code. No time
wasted on compiling.
Secondly, 'ltrace' let's you trace the behaviour of your program at a
different level. That can often reveal what it has done (on that
level) more clearly, because you're not flooded with excess
information. (I did 'strace' some programs to check which syscalls
they make, and in what sequence. That can be very helpful in
identifying problems when you suspect that the sequence of calls is
not in the correct order, which you once assumed. 'strace' lets me
see more clearly how the program interacts with the OS.)
