Oops, I found it caused compilation error on gcc < 4.4 as below:

     CC builtin-trace.o
     CC builtin-probe.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
builtin-probe.c: In function 'parse_probepoint':
builtin-probe.c:109: error: implicit declaration of function 'strndup'
builtin-probe.c:109: error: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'strndup'

Since I forgot to add _GNU_SOURCE...
