But the thing is that when i use ltrace to trace an executable containing multi threads on ARM architecture it seems to be working fine. But the same thing breaks on the MIPS architecture with the following output:

There are bugs in ltrace on mips. I've sent to the mailing list patches
for getting things better some weeks ago. Also, I'm using a mipsel
system so I may have missed some endian specific bugs.
