Hello,
perhaps it might be possible to selectively disable dtrace on 10.5? I'm
kind of also affected by this patch as my patch to enable DTrace on
i386-solaris2 platform still awaits review[1] and with this patch
applied it just do nothing (well, user needs to enable USE_DTRACE...).
So more fine grained dtrace disable policy would be really good to have...
Thanks,
Karel

Hi Ian,

Can we please not do this? The whole point about dtrace is that you don't need
special builds or so to use it, but that it is always available. As I
explained before, few Mac Intel users will still use 10.5 and even fewer (if
any) will do so on 64-bit capable hardware.
I'm trying to get to the point where I can build 64bit OS X installers,
as well as 32bit ones, so it needs to work on 10.5 unless we decide to
drop support for 10.5 and upgrade my Mac to 10.6.
How about dropping 10.5 for the 64-bit OS X installer? As I argued, I doubt
there is much of a demand for it anyway. (DTrace seems to work for you on
32-bit 10.5.)
If the hurdle is that you have no Mac with 10.6 to build a 64-bit, 10.6-only
installer, I'm happy to either provide you access to an OS X server running
10.6, or build the installer for you.
