This is a bug. You filed it in 2006:
6460581 dtrace -h drops const qualifier in the generated function prototypes
It's kind of a pain to fix, but I'll try to bump it up in the queue. It should
just be a matter of tinkering with dt_decl_type(), but dealing with all the
different ways you can apply const (e.g. const char const *) will be tricky.
