Description:   Opened: 2007-11-13 00:45 0000 
Valgrind doesn't support glibc-2.7. It fails on the configure step saying it
needs glibc-2.4 or 2.6

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to glibc-2.7
2. Emerge valgrind




Redhat has a patch for glibc-2.7; it can be found at

Patch to make dev-util/valgrind fails to compile against glibc-2.7 against
glibc-2.7

With this patch valgrind compiles against glibc-2.7.
Simply use it in a portage overlay with the following ebuild.
