When attempting to build rpms from the git repo with "make rpm" I found that the build would fail:

RPM build errors:
    File not found: /home/wcohen/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/systemtap-3.3-1.fc27.x86_64/usr/libexec/systemtap/python/stap-resolve-module-function.py
    File not found: /home/wcohen/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/systemtap-3.3-1.fc27.x86_64/usr/libexec/systemtap/python/stap-resolve-module-function.py?
make: *** [Makefile:2482: rpm] Error 1

The install places the stap-resolve-module-function.py in the wrong place as seen in the output of the build:

 /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/home/wcohen/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/systemtap-3.3-1.fc27.x86_64/home/wcohen/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/systemtap-3.3-1.fc27.x86_64/usr/libexec/systemtap/python'
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 stap-resolve-module-function.py '/home/wcohen/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/systemtap-3.3-1.fc27.x86_64/home/wcohen/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/systemtap-3.3-1.fc27.x86_64/usr/libexec/systemtap/python'


The problem is caused by the following commit:

commit 3128ca27f67476fdd5f26a44bc3809fa8396e749

    Add a small fix to python/Makefile.am.
    
    * python/Makefile.am: Add DESTDIR to pkglibexecpythondir.
    * python/Makefile.in: Regenerated.
