Bug Description

When I compile a simple tapset, I get

This bug was fixed in the package systemtap - 1.4-1ubuntu2

---------------
systemtap (1.4-1ubuntu2) oneiric; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/fix-compile-warning: Apply upstream fix for failure to
    compile tapsets due to kernel change. (LP: #838205)
  * debian/patches/no-werror.patch: Remove -Werror from CFLAGS to avoid
    new variable-set-but-not-used errors when building.
