>From the README in the tarball on that location, a proper build provides:

 	build/dtrace               User land executable
 	build/drti.o               Object file for USDT apps
 	build/driver/dtracedrv.ko  Kernel loadable module

So I guess either kmod-dtrace or kmod-dtracedrv ? (I prefer the former)
