This is a problem in the Systemtap sdt.h header, which is incompatible
with C++11 because it has no whitespace between string literals and
the _SDT_S macro, as described in the User-defined literals section of
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.7/porting_to.html

You could try upgrading to a newer Systemtap releases.
