I have seen this occur when the systemtap build tree was configured
with a relative rather than absolute source directory.  Those relative
directories get sent into the kernel object Makefile in /tmp/stapFOO.
These in turn "stop making sense" with the "make -C /lib/modules/...."
invocation.  This may be fixable in the src/Makefile.am or
src/runtest.sh files, by somehow absolutifying the SYSTEMTAP_RUNTIME
environment variable.

The easiest workaround is to use an absolute source directory when
configuring/building systemtap.
