No problem, in the end it's one patch less we carry around. Dropping the nest
bool is fine with me of course, I have a patch doing that. I can't seem to find
where to send patches however, the mailing list seems to have remarkably few of
them and the HACKING document doesn't seem to mention? Where does systemtap
development happen?

I can't seem to find where -flto=auto could come from within the systemtap
sources, is that in your env somehow? That shouldn't be used when compiling
with clang. If you need a workaround, setting
CCC_OVERRIDE_OPTIONS="x-flto=auto" should work.

Later versions of clang will also ignore -flto=auto:
