Uli, you have been able to build the a snapshot of the systemtap with 
the elfutils-0.116 bundled on a rawhide machine? Maybe something is 
different between our rawhide systems.

Shouldn't the first printf problem been noticed before on an elfutil 
rpmbuild? It was built straight from the test srpm.

It looks like the systemtap rpmbuild is passing in -Wall for the build 
of elfutil, but the elfutil rpmbuild isn't.

When I manually removed "-Wall" from build-elfutils/tests/Makefile the 
compiler succeeds building line2addr.o.
