Hi Timo,

Sure. I ran the upstream test-suite on ppc64el and powerpc ports for
comparison, both running on KVM guests, linux kernel 3.14 (Debian).

        git remote: git://sourceware.org/git/systemtap.git
        git commit: 035685897c43de5cdbc15b3fc38d75c6a8955bc3

        # ./configure [args from Debian srcpkg + --disable-refdocs]
        # make -jN
        # make install

        # make check
        # make installcheck
                (following [1])

On powerpc:

        # make check
        [...]
                        === systemtap Summary ===

        # of expected passes            1692
        # of unexpected failures        244
        # of unexpected successes       1
        # of expected failures          287
        # of known failures             59
        # of untested testcases         782
        # of unsupported tests          9

        
        # make installcheck
        [...]
        FAIL: all pid tests - unexpected EOF
        (kernel crash)


On ppc64el:

        # make check
        [...]
                        === systemtap Summary ===

        # of expected passes            1078
        # of unexpected failures        835
        # of unexpected successes       1
        # of expected failures          287
        # of known failures             58
        # of untested testcases         687
        # of unsupported tests          9


        # make installcheck
        [...]
                        === systemtap Summary ===

        # of expected passes            1400
        # of unexpected failures        1247
        # of unexpected successes       1
        # of expected failures          287
        # of unknown successes          1
        # of known failures             60
        # of untested testcases         440
        # of unsupported tests          11


I currently lack some more systemtap background to be sure.. but overall
835 uf/1078 ep vs. 244 uf/1692 ep doesn't look very good.  Does that
match your opinion?

If that holds, I can try to look into the failures for clues (haven't
done that yet).

Thanks!
