So what's going on here is that lwlock.c is being compiled to a separate
archive (lwlock.a), and when linking it wants to see the dtrace symbols
(__dtraceenabled_postgresql___lwlock__wait__start et al) but it looks
like they're not defined.
I installed systemtap on my machine and reconfigured meson with it so
that it uses dtrace, and it compiles successfully. One interesting
point: on my ninja log, I see dtrace being invoked, which I do not in
the FreeBSD log.
I continue to not understand what is going on.
