Pull request overview
This PR adjusts the strace tests so that failures when building the C test helpers with make all cause the tests to be skipped instead of failed, in order to mitigate current GitHub CI toolchain breakage.
Changes:
- In
prepareTestCmd, changet.Fatalfonmake allfailure tot.Skipfwith a new skip message. - Leave the rest of the tracer tests and trace collection logic unchanged.

Changing this from t.Fatalf to t.Skipf means that any failure to run make all (including genuine build or test regressions in the C test programs) will cause the entire test to be skipped instead of failing, which can mask real issues and reduce effective test coverage. Consider keeping this as a hard failure, or only skipping when you can positively detect the specific flaky environment (e.g., via a CI-specific environment variable), so that legitimate build problems are still surfaced as test failures.
