No it isn't the same. The linux/makefiles/dtrace.make looks for 
DTRACE_ENABLED and will define additional targets if it is set, as well 
as setting -DDTRACE_ENABLED. If you just set the define then you miss 
other things.

But that aside you don't set DTRACE_ENABLED either. dtrace will be 
enabled if the SDT header file is found. If you just do a build without 
trying to force dtrace on what does the log show?
