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

[Damien Borie <dbe@terawatt.fr>]

Thanks!

Well, this patch seems to work. But then, the compilation doesn't works. 
It returns with this error :
'checking for /proc/self/fd... configure: error: cannot check for file 
existence when cross compiling'
I know I had this error in the past on other packages, but I don't 
remember how to fix it.
Note that I don't apply the patch 'valgrind.patch' because it cause 
errors. The only patch applied is 'valgrind-3.5.0-largefile.patch'.
Yesterday, I found a patch in the mailing list named 'valgrind bump to 
3.5.0' (link : 
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2010-April/033673.html) but 
I didn't succeed in applying it. I'm not sure but I think it will patch 
vargrind.patch and vargrind.mk to work with 3.5.0 version.
But how to apply it?
