You really want 'strace -f make' - the -f flag makes it follow forks, which you
want to do because it's gcc that's doing most of the actual file I/O, not make.

Oh.  and you want to redirect that grep into a temporary file and be
prepared to post-process it with perl or something, there's going to be
*zillions* of open() syscalls.
