[issue14776] Add SystemTap static markers

> I tried the patch under Mageia 1 and got the following failure:
Thanks.  I'm attaching an updated patch which reworks test_systemtap so that
  (a) it turns up the verbosity of stap invocations from "-v" to "-vv"
  (b) it tests the "hello world" stap script on a trivial binary ("true") before attempting to invoke sys.executable under stap

What does the error message look like with the extra verbosity?

The chmod invocation sounds like an issue with how Mageia have packaged SystemTap, assuming that you're using a packaged build of systemtap.
