the { make pp } probe scripts are the same on all architectures
ksh integration will need the pp probe for msgcc l10n
the pp probe script is made by
        cat src/cmd/INIT/C+probe src/lib/libpp/pp.probe > probe.sh
        cp probe.sh probe
        chmod +x probe
the make probe script (not used by the ksh integration) is made by
        cat src/cmd/INIT/C+probe src/cmd/INIT/make.probe > probe.sh
        cp probe.sh probe
        chmod +x probe
both compiler probes share the same C+probe preamble
pathnames above are relative to the upstream src
