--- Comment #1 from Serguei Makarov <smakarov at redhat dot com> 2012-12-19 21:37:29 UTC ---
Pushed a set of stub functions for task_finder and vma that output warning
messages to inform the user that functionality may not be available, e.g.:

WARNING: cannot track target in process
'/opt/codebase/build/testsuite/towers.x'
WARNING: cannot track target in process 'XXX'
WARNING: process-tracking facilities are not available in this kernel

while still allowing the script in question to proceed. (All of the
corresponding task_finder callback registrations are ignored silently, and the
callbacks are never called.)

This is probably better than the prior behaviour, which could readily run into
an error at the C compilation stage (when error messages are most confusing).
