systemtap fails to build C due to __NR_compat_clock_getres define errors

Does the systemtap from this ppa work correctly for you?

Same error.

what do you have in your . directory? That's where it's picking up the previous definition...

I had already wiped Ubuntu because of librtlsdr0 not working, so I installed it on a flash drive. I tried doing this procedure again, and got the same error.

. is ~ (/home/ubuntu) and has no such arch directory.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ pwd

So what is `.`?

Searching for all files named unistd.h, I think it's one of the following 2 (note that both files are identical according to diff):

/usr/src/linux-raspi-headers-5.4.0-1012/arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd.h
/usr/src/linux-raspi-headers-5.4.0-1008/arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd.h

Full find command output at https://gist.github.com/nyanpasu64/53d1341655d4d63fd61e7d0a9de8313e.

I think that systemtap ships with a unistd stub at /usr/share/systemtap/runtime/linux/compat_unistd.h which has conflicts with the real unistd.h.

I suspect what you'll need is a collection of #if/#endif guards around the definitions of those macros:
