I was just pointing out that the package itself (sys/sdt.h) really
should be arch independent. It doesn't really make sense IMHO to tie it
to the arches that happen to have a systemtap implementation, since GDB
also supports it, you could as well argue that it should be supported on
all arches that GDB support.

But if there really are unintended effects on some architectures they
should be fixed.

I am just not clear what the precise bugs are that you are seeing. The
gcc example is somewhat hard to understand. Is the issue you are seeing
with gcc really caused by sys/sdt.h or might it be the g++ template decl
ordering problem discussed here:
