--- Comment #4 from Jonathan Lebon <jlebon at redhat dot com> ---
The branch jlebon/pr13296 contains patches to support this now. More precisely,
we also pick up STT_OBJECT symbols from the symbol table, which we then try to
use if we meet such an operand.

Example:

$ cat prog.c

#include "sys/sdt.h"

int globalvar = 3;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   globalvar += argc;
   STAP_PROBE1(test, mymark, globalvar);
   return 0;
}
$ gcc prog.c -o prog -I../install/include -DSTAP_SDT_ARG_CONSTRAINT=m
$ readelf --notes prog | tail -n 7
