I think the Pass 4 failures are really that. The GCC used doesn't
provide location expressions for some of the variables the scripts wants
to access. They aren't really bugs in icedtea, but in gcc, possibly
resolved in gcc 4.5+ (some distros backport these debuginfo fixes).

The Pass 5 failures probably mean the user running stap doesn't have
permission. Normally you would have the user in group stapdev.

We might need a stap -e 'probe begin { log("Hello World"); exit(); }'
test before we run the rest of the tests that need Pass 5 output.

Cheers,
