[Bug translator/6477] New: without debuginfo, compiling a process probe script fails silently


Without kernel debuginfo installed, observe the following:

# stap -vvv -e 'probe process("/bin/program_that_does_not_exist").death { }'

Pass 3: translation failed.  Try again with more '-v' (verbose) options.
Running rm -rf /tmp/stapFUASeP

Even if this shouldn't compile, a better error message (or any for that matter)
should be emitted.

(This bug might be related to bug #4311)
