OK, that just means that the automated client/server widget can't be
used, but you can still build the various parts of systemtap the same
way. Instead of running stap-client on the arm machine and
stap-server on the development host, you'd run 'stap -p4 ....' on the
host by hand, transport the foo.ko file to the arm machine any way you
see fit, and run it there with 'staprun foo.ko'.
(If the arm machine has enough ram/virtual memory, building/running
all of systemtap natively is also a possibility.)
