    The issue here is that on ppc64le the systemtap module compilation takes roughly 20 secs when I tested it and for the tests assert_usable() allows for 10 seconds. So SIGKILL is used for the process group and files stay there, systemtap and make don't have time to remove them. We need to increase the timeout for systemtap.
