There are two errors when compiling systemtap with gcc-4.3 snapshot:

staptree.cxx: In static member function 'static bool
print_format::parse_print(const std::string&, bool&, bool&, bool&, bool&
)':
staptree.cxx:356: error: 'strncmp' was not declared in this scope

In file included from main.cxx:12:
staptree.h:871: error: explicit template specialization cannot have a storage class

First one is just missing #include <cstring>.
Second one is harder to fix, it is related to this change in gcc:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-06/msg01075.html . It can be fixed by
removing second "static" in this code:
template <typename T> static void
require (deep_copy_visitor* v, T* dst, T src)
...
template <> static void
require <indexable *> (deep_copy_visitor* v, indexable** dst, indexable* src)

Unfortunately current gcc has bug that makes require<indexable *>() extern, so
compilation fails.

Applied patch does not fix build failure with gcc 4.3 related to templates. It
is "static" in definition for require<indexable *>() that should be removed, not
require<T>().

workaround for gcc 4.3 build failure

This is workaround that works for both gcc 4.2 and gcc 4.3. Suggested here:
