It can.  For such cases, you could put your tapset.stp file anywhere you like,
and add its directory to stap's search path with -I.  Your .stp file can
contain the full path name of your preloaded .so in its probe alias.

That wouldn't work too well, in that enumration and parsing of all .stp files
occurs earlier than analysis of the probe points listed in those .stp files.
