Building systemtap against 0.165-2, I get these errors:

Adding "-lz" to systemtap's LDFLAGS solves it.  Is this expected behavior?

Comment 3 Josh Stone 2016-01-29 00:06:42 UTC

DTS's libelf.so is a linker script with "INPUT(libelf.ar)". Adding "INPUT(-lz)" to this solves the problem. In fact, libdw.so includes several libraries this way.

Thanks for testing. That is the way I solved it. New build attached to errata.
