This is based on the following LGTM ticket: https://discuss.lgtm.com/t/error-loading-shared-library-ld-linux-x86-64-so-2-no-such-file-or-directory-needed-by-opt-dist-tools-lib64trace-so/2944/4

Build sgx-lkl as follows:

sudo apt-get install make gcc g++ bc python xutils-dev bison flex libgcrypt20-dev libjson-c-dev automake autopoint autoconf pkgconf libtool libcurl4-openssl-dev libprotobuf-dev libprotobuf-c-dev protobuf-compiler protobuf-c-compiler libssl-dev
git clone https://github.com/lsds/sgx-lkl.git
cd sgx-lkl
git submodule init
git submodule update --recursive
 ~/codeql-releases/codeql-2.2.2/codeql/codeql database create /tmp/db-sgx-lkl -l cpp -c "make"

After a while the build fails:

Looking in the appropriate config.log (third_party/popt/config.log) has the following error message:

This is a tracing issue.
