I had a strace, but it was rather large since I also straced all
the children. I'll see about making a new strace.
Anyway, we currently call it like:
parallel -l 5 -i trigger_wb_update_arch_loop "${SUITE}" "{}" "${SOURCES}"
"${PACKAGES}" "${WB_SUITE}" -- ${ARCHS}
But I've also done it without the "-l 5".
