Comment 2 Zenon Panoussis 2011-03-17 23:51:53 UTC 
This is the same problem as in bug #605588 and I can confirm that uninstalling systemtap-sdt-devel allowed the build to finish OK. 

I'm not closing this as a dupe because #605588 is filed against Fedora.
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-04 02:50:39 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 4 Adam Jackson 2011-08-17 16:53:29 UTC 
Fixed in 6.2 by building with --without-dtrace, closing.
