I think this was brought up at the F2F but do not recall a definitive 
solution...
Not questioning the merit of the (script language) enhancement to 
support %( CONDITION %? TRUE-TOKENS %: FALSE-TOKENS %) pre-processor 
statements. However I can foresee probe script code becoming difficult 
to manage (or at least ugly) if entangled between a lot of 'ifdefs'. I 
think it would be appropriate - and consistent with Linux's traditional 
way of ordering source code - if (arch specific)
tapset code was able to be placed in tapset/arch/ directory (eg. 
SYSTEMTAP_TAPSET=$SRCDIR/tapset/arch/`uname -i`/*.stp)
