Comment (by RJVB):

 Yes, this looks like a permissions problem calling dtrace. Rather than
 making dtrace SUID root it would probably be cleaner to figure out how to
 make MacPorts build it as root.

 The big question here is why ruby needs to do this, and to what extent the
 file generated with the command is host-specific. If it's not, the
 cleanest thing would be to distribute if in `${filespath}` and copy it to
 the appropriate location in the `post-configure`.

 This is what you get running sudo make in ${worksrcpath}:

 {{{
 ...
 dtrace -o probes.h.tmp -h -C -I. -I.ext/include/x86_64-darwin13
 -I./include -I. -s probes.d
 . ./vm_opts.h
 sed -e 's/RUBY_/RUBY_DTRACE_/g' -e 's/PROBES_H_TMP/RUBY_PROBES_H/' -e
 's/(char \*/(const char */g' -e 's/, char \*/, const char */g'
 probes.h.tmp > probes.h
 rm -f probes.h.tmp
 ...
 }}}

 I'll see what probes.h contains and attach it if it seems redistributable.
