One more thing worth trying is probing the inlined instances within
the process binary (instead of just the copy in the libc.so), as
in

        probe process("a.out").function("memcpy"),
              process("/lib/libc.5.so").function("memcpy") {
              log($$parms)
        }

The former may catch the synthetic ones.
