dtrace discuss - Apr 2009 - Building ustack() helpers on OS X without -G

I am trying to integrate John Levon''s ustack() helper for Python into
the
upstream Python sources. The method for doing this on Solaris is to compile the 
phelper.d script containing the helper into an object file using "dtrace
-G".
dtrace on OS X does not have "dtrace -G", just "dtrace -h".
This works fine for
USDT probes, but I am at a loss on how to compile ustack() helpers.

Does anyone have some ideas? You can see the ongoing conversation on the Python 
bug tracker:

There is currently no way to build ustack helpers on OS X.
