[Bug tapsets/4913] New: probe syscall.* fails on i386 systems with systemtap-20070804

[Wenji Huang]

srinivasa,   

   "compat_do_execve" and "compat_sys_semtimedop" are functions for 
providing for providing 32 bit
compatibility code in 64 bit systems.

    So if your box is 32 bit, then report error.

    It has been solved in latest source code (after 0804 snapshot).

Regards,
Wenji
