Pass 4: compilation failed.  Try again with another '--vp 0001' option.
Please try systemtap 1.7, or build one out of
<git://sourceware.org/git/systemtap.git>.  Newer kernels sometimes
break systemtap assumptions; these are fixed pretty quickly in the
source tree, and get rolled into later releases.

Please report any further problems at [off-list ref],
including /usr/bin/stap-report output, if able.
  just FYI, this is the current problem:

    cpumask: remove old cpu_*_map.

    These are obsolete: cpu_*_mask provides (const) pointers.

  in current systemtap, runtime.h:

#define stp_for_each_cpu(cpu)  for_each_cpu_mask((cpu), cpu_possible_map)

so that's definitely going to fail.
