`mtrace(1)` is a small Perl script that interprets and provides
human-readable output for `malloc(3)` traces.
Even though this is actually part of `glibc` itself I decided to place
this into its own package. The main reason for this is that this script
has a runtime dependency on Perl which would complicate `stdenv`
bootstrapping since we'd have to compile another Perl that doesn't depend on
the bootstrap tools that is used as runtime dependency for the
stage2 glibc.
Since this is only a dev/debugging tool, splitting this up seemed like a
reasonable choice to me.
On a leaking C program, this can be used like this:
$ env MALLOC_TRACE=$(pwd)/trace ./a.out
$ ./result/bin/mtrace ./trace
