systemtap build errors on ppc64

[Hien Nguyen <hien at us dot ibm dot com>]

I had problem building systemtap on ppc64 (RHEL4 update2 beta3).
After doing the  'yum update elfutils' have my elfutils up to date.

[root@elm3b90 ~]# rpm -qa | grep elfutils
elfutils-0.115-0.2
elfutils-devel-0.115-0.2
elfutils-libs-0.115-0.2
elfutils-libelf-devel-0.115-0.2
elfutils-libelf-0.115-0.2
elfutils-libelf-0.115-0.2

Here's the compiler's errors when building systemtap (./configure 
finished without error)
