[Buildroot] Valgrind compilation, with patch 3.5.0, need help

[Damien Borie]

Hello,

I Have to add Valgrind to my distribution to debug my programs. The 
version in buildroot doesn't compile because it needs glibc 2.2 -2.5, 
and I have 2.9. So I tried with the patch to bump to Valgrind 3.5.0. But 
it ask me fro a file to patch, and I don't understand what I must type 
to apply correctly the patch and compile Valgrind. In the match itself, 
I cannot see indications about this file to choose.

Please, can somebody help me?

Thanks,

What is your target architecture ? Remember that Valgrind only works on
x86, x86_64 and PowerPC 32/64.

Moreover, I don't really see how Valgrind in Buildroot would depend on
a particular version of glibc. Can you be more specific about what
you're doing and the exact result of the commands you're using ?
