[ELDK] Recent valgrind on libc 2.6, ELDK 4.2 (ppc_4xx) ?

[Nepveu, Charles]

Hi!

I found it impossible to compile a recent version of valgrind because of unsupported/unrecognized assembler commands using the DENX ELDK 4.2/ppc_4xx toolchain.
A fellow coworker pointed me to ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/tmp/valgrind-2.4.1-ppc.tar.gz which compiles and works (once you remove the glibc version check from the configure script).  At this point, valgrind works on our target, but it keeps reporting "Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)" error within libstdc++. Also, it doesn't seem to follow memory allocation using the c++ 'new' operator.
I haven't gone more in depth with that version, because it seems it wasn't made to work with glibc 2.6 (the configure script checked for 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4), and because it's an old version of valgrind.

Has anyone got a recent valgrind version working on ppc_4xx using ELDK 4.2? Thanks!
