Really? You can fit an application built with libcurl but you cannot fit
strace on there? You know you can mount remote directories using NFS, right?

I would strongly advice you to up your efforts on that solution. Writing
software for an embedded device with no decent way to debug it is not a good
idea.

I don't see what we can do about this problem then. You can sprincle the code
with printf()s or infof()s but without any clues about what's happening it
might turn out to be quite a boring and time-consuming job.
