Unclear error message results If kernel-devel is not installed

The error message looks like this:

Pass 1: parsed user script and 16 library script(s) in 210usr/0sys/287real ms.
Pass 2: analyzed script: 2 probe(s), 3 function(s), 1 global(s) in
410usr/30sys/1551real ms.
Pass 3: translated to C into "/tmp/stap1qC0Si/stap_12608.c" in

Pass 4: compiled C into "stap_12608.ko" in 0usr/10sys/187real ms.
Pass 4: compilation failed.  Try again with more '-v' (verbose) options. 

The error message should details on the /lib/module/`uname -r`/build files that
are missing.

I should have made that clearer - the error was seen with any of the sample
scripts - or for that matter, just typing in commands like: 

stap -p2 -e 'probe kernel.function ("*") {}'

Len, for -p2, no part of the kernel-devel proper is used, only kernel-debuginfo.
But indeed, we could use improved error messages for both cases.
