Actually, given that the upstream default is now "log", how about:

    if $$source/scripts/tracetool.py --check-backend --backend stderr ; 
then \
                enable_trace_backend='--enable-trace-backend=stderr'; \
        else \          enable_trace_backend='' ; \
        
    fi ; \

IOW just accept the upstream default (be it log or whatever comes next)
from this version onwards?

Ian.
