I'm glad to know this is the problem - that's easily fixed.

The following command should get you a (read-only) copy of the source:

# git clone git://sources.redhat.com/git/systemtap.git

Assuming you've got a sources.redhat.com account, the following command
should get you a copy that you can use to "push" changes:

# git clone ssh://sources.redhat.com/git/systemtap.git

Since I don't have a ppc machine I can't be much help here.  The current
code should certainly build on x86/x86_64.
