>    The problem is that the configure of lttng-tools detects the presence or absence of lttng-modules and also detects the presence or absence of lttng-ust, and adjusts to both.  By installing lttng-tools before lttng-modules, you've built an lttng-tools set that CANNOT be used to trace the kernel.

lttng-tools checks for kernel modules at run time, not at configure
time. You can safely install lttng-modules after lttng-tools and still
use kernel tracing.
