Hi Ciro,

You could install the systemtap-sdt-dev package, that would allow
running the tests that currently exit early with:

  fatal error: sys/sdt.h: No such file or directory

They probably show as untested or unsupported right now, so it won't
reduce the number of failures, just raise the number of passes.
