Thanks for the detailed output - I hope we can figure this out.

Having the perf tool in-tree seems to be a bit of an experiment, which
has already met some objection. I expect a large C++ such as ours would
be seen even less favorably.

I suspect that we may have an issue with escaping the non-ASCII
characters in your path. I tried to recreate your path though, and it
still worked for me. It may still be some other locale issue though.
The '-k' option will cause stap to leave the tmp directory in place
after it's done. Can you collect that .c file and attach it for us to see?
Thanks,
Josh
