Building Valgrind

[Jack Mitchell <ml@communistcode.co.uk>]

I am attempting to build Valgrind with mu very minimal package compiling 
experience, and unsurprisingly for such a complex program I am stuck! I 
will be happy to submit it to meta-oe once it is building and believe it 
would be very useful now that it supports ARM (and MIPS to some extent 
apparently). So, my progress so far:


 From what I can gather the autoconf class is passing --warning=cross 
which it doesn't understand... I'm really not very experienced at this! :-)
