Nope, with this fix just applied:

[acme@zoo linux]$ rm -f ~/bin/perf;hash -r;type perf;rm -rf /tmp/build/perf ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf ; make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin > /dev/null; type perf
bash: type: perf: not found
PERF_VERSION = 4.1.rc5.g3f046e
perf is /home/acme/bin/perf
[acme@zoo linux]$ sudo ~acme/bin/perf probe -l > /tmp/bla
probe:SYSC_perf_event_open (on SYSC_perf_event_open@linux/kernel/events/core.c)
[acme@zoo linux]$ cat /tmp/bla
[acme@zoo linux]$ git log --oneline | head -1
3f046ed885e1 perf probe: List probes in stdout
acme@zoo linux]$

I see there is one place where this 'use_stdout' thing is always 'false', is
that the problem? Do we really need to have this complexity? Why not plain use
fprintf(stdout)? This is not a informative message, this is the command output,
right?
