This is a strace bug, fixed upstream. From memory the kernel headers started defining this in 3.10, which caused the issue.

This patch is also required to fix errors in make check.

Thanks, with a bit of build system tweaking afterwards these two patches seem to do the job - uploaded to trusty.

This bug was fixed in the package strace - 4.8-1ubuntu4

---------------
strace (4.8-1ubuntu4) trusty; urgency=medium

  * Rework debian/rules to ensure we finish our autoreconf before trying to
    do any of the builds, on architectures where we build strace for more
    than one target.
