 I know, but isn't it a bit more than just a convenience if you want to use
 dtrace or something built on top of it?

 That shouldn't be a problem here as long as it's world-readable, but the
 error cited above is not about permissions on the probes.h file. It's hard
 to know though who complains about opening /dev/fd/8 (an inter-process
 pipe?) for output, though. It turns out you were right, but I fail to see
 why.

 I think it would still be interesting to know if a pre-generated probes.h
 can be used.
