FAIL: ./systemtap.base/kmodule.stp compilation I run the above test with strace strace stap -v -p3 kmodule.stp It reveals the stap looks for /sys/module/ext3/sections/.init.text But under ppc64 it is /sys/module/ext3/sections/_init.text Roland is aware of this issue, and will provide a fix/work around.
This should be fixed as of elfutils 0.119.
Reopen if this is not in fact fixed.
