Configure systemtap-060401 under fedora 5 success!

Configure systemtap-060401 under fedora 5 success!

[Kevin Jia]

For others beginners:
step 1: update kernel to 2.6.16-1.2080 (use yum)
step 2: update kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2080 (use yum)
step 3: update kernel-debuginfo-2.6.16-1.2080 (use yum, too)
step 4: download elfutils-0.119 and package, then patch it. (do not install)
step 5: download snapshot of systemtap-060401, then configure it use
this command: ./configure --with-elfutils=PATCHED-ELFUTILS-DIR  after
this make check and make install.
the end, enjoy it!

A little problems:
a. Although I use yum update kernel-debuginfo, but it seems do not
react. So I use package manager do this again, pass!  Maybe a bug?
b. When I use "make all check", the test result is: 19 fails of 140.
