mutrace depends on libbfd, and from binutils-dev:
Description-en: The GNU binary utilities (BFD development files)
This package includes header files and static libraries necessary to build
programs which use the GNU BFD library, which is part of binutils. Note
that building Debian packages which depend on the shared libbfd is Not
