Andrew, this is not "strace bug", but a vfork() bug that it can't be traced --
strace simply CAN'T do anything to fix it.

If some versions of GCC use fork(), and others -- vfork(), so, GCC in fact
supports both styles, right?  So, can this be made at least configurable?

And as for performance...  Of course, vfork() is slightly faster, but the
performance gain (microseconds?) is neglectable if compared with times spent on
compilation and optimization...
