This doesn't make much sense to me.  Yes, '-' is an illegal character in
a module name, but that doesn't matter here.  Besides the fact that
aux_syscalls-embedded.stp just gets compiled and not actually inserted,
that isn't the module name.  Systemtap generated a random string of the
form 'stap_XXXXX...' for the module name (unless someone uses the '-m
NAME' option).

So, unless someone is doing 'stap -m aux_syscalls-embedded
aux_syscalls-embedded.stp', the above problem shouldn't exist.

Can you give us more details here about your system and the failure
messages you are getting?
