I've changed this.

Getting output from gdb was not the intent of this section.  Look at the
name of the section: "Program dies when running under strace".  If the
intent was to get output from gdb it would have been something like
"Make gdb output strace info".

I'm not aware of any way to have gdb print strace info.
