            Bug ID: 22462
           Summary: quoted include path
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: translator
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: dsmith at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

When systemtap builds a kernel module, the Makefile it generates has the
following line in it:

   EXTRA_CFLAGS += -I"RUNTIME_PATH"

Where RUNTIME_PATH is the path to the systemtap runtime. Because the user can
override the built-in runtime path with the SYSTEMTAP_RUNTIME environment
variable, the translator has always quoted this value for safety.

However, on recent Ubuntu kernels (and perhaps other distributions), this
quoting has confused the kernel build machinery.

Note that the following (unmerged) kernel patch tries to fix the problem:
