Evidently our DTrace support hasn't been ported to the systemtap
emulation; or maybe you need some more config options. I think you will
need to hack the makefiles until it works, and we could use a patch.
I'm sure many will be happy to use SystemTap with our dtrace
tracepoints.

(I vaguely recall somebody saying this already worked, years ago; maybe
you should troll the pgsql-hackers archives.)
