It prints nothing at all?

That's a good point.  Probably an older version of local::lib or 
Module::Build, or maybe some failed attempt at back-compat.  Earlier 
versions of Module::Build (pre 0.36) didn't have the PERL_MB_OPT 
environment variable, so you had to use the rc file -- so local::lib 
would just write one and use MODULEBUILDRC as above.

IIRC, on OS X, that's going to be 'dtrace' -- and it used to include 
only ktrace or something.
