(Are these patches public somewhere?)

(By the way, this should be unnecessary unless your patches modify
the configury input files.)

systemtap's configure.ac looks for a program called "python3-config" (in
the python3 case), since your configure invocation specifically asked
for --with-python3* bits.  If that program is installed, maybe run the
configure script with "sh -x" to produce a shell level trace of what
happened.  Or if you don't really need python stuff, drop those --with
options.
