Dtrace on Solaris:

fix excessive relinking that results from rerunning
dtrace -G second time on the objects that come into 
static library. 
The reason for relinking is that dtrace -G changes 
timestamp for the object file, which in turn results
in re-archiving the mysys on next time make runs, 
which causes relinking of the whole mysql, because
everything depends on mysys.

The fix is to copy objects into temp before running 
dtrace -G in mysqld pre-build step. This way dtrace 
does not affect the object timestamp.
