That is the process described at:
   http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-6223/6mlkidls5?l=en&a=view
  It modifies the call to the probes in the object files, leaving space
  for reinsertion.   hello.gcc.o is from 'gcc hello.c' and
  hello.dtrace.o/helloprobes.o are from 'dtrace -G -s helloprobes.d hello.o'
