No. After PTRACE_ATTACH, next reported waitpid result will be either
a ptrace-stop of signal-delivery-stop variety,
or death (WIFEXITED/WIFSIGNALED). Syscall exit notification
is not possible (modulo kernel bugs). For one, syscall entry/exit
notifications must be explicitly requested by PTRACE_SYSCALL, which
wasn't yet done!
