Description:
DTrace is not enabled on official MySQL 5.5.8 binaries for Solaris, but I'm able to enable DTrace when I compile it from source using SolarisStudio 12. I guess simply the option is not enabled when building it or the binaries were built using GCC.

I confirmed that DTrace is enabled on OSX 10.6 binaries.

The problem is also reported on the forum: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?117,391447,391447

How to repeat:
You can see DTrace is not enabled using the following command:

shell> su
shell> dtrace -l -P mysql`pgrep -x mysqld`

Suggested fix:
Simply use SolarisStudio12 and enable DTrace option ;)

It must be something simple, e.g PATH setting in the build environment, such as dtrace is not found.

The latest packages (5.5, 5.6, 5.7) are built with DTrace support. DTrace support was deprecated in 5.7 and removed in 8.0.
