stap in RHEL5 Alpha 1 x86_64


I just got done helping a SystemTap user resolve a problem.  He had
recently installed RHEL5 A1 on his x86_64 system, and was trying to use
SystemTap.  stap was reporting a compile error in runtime/alloc.c (ref
to for_each_cpu in _stp_alloc_cpu).  Even a simple hello-world script
wouldn't compile.

"stap -V" reported:
SystemTap translator/driver (version 0.5.5 built 2006-04-05)
(Using Red Hat elfutils 0.121 libraries.)

I realize Alpha 1 was a while ago, but that seems pretty old.

Anyway, he fixed it by building and installing the latest snapshot from
CVS.

Does this incident warrant a bugzilla?

Jim
