I think the tool does not work if 'sh' is not 'bash'. For example, on
OpenBSD I got:

config-host.mak is out-of-date, running configure

Error: invalid trace backend
Please choose a supported trace backend.

  GEN   trace.h
/src/qemu/tracetool[176]: no closing quote

This shows the problem:
sh -x ../tracetool --nop --check-backend
+ set -f
../tracetool[176]: no closing quote
