Check it in.

Instrumentation in glibc, like that provided by systemtap, is long
overdue.

I would like to see support in glibc for as many methods of
instrumentation as the community thinks is useful.

I'm less enthusiastic about making it the default, but whatever, it's
just another knob.

Cheers,
Carlos.
