This is in direct response to bug #141706 (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141706). callgrind refuses to configure because 'valgrind --version' is displaying only 'Killed'. No matter what option given to valgrind (even trivial ones like '-h')it dies in this way. As there seems not to be a bug opened for the valgrind issue, here it is. # equery list -i valgrind [ Searching for package 'valgrind' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] dev-util/valgrind-3.1.1 (0) # emerge --info Portage 2.1-r2 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.17-ck1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-ck1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.3 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="" ANT_HOME="/usr/share/ant-core" ARCH="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CCACHE_SIZE="5G" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx -m3dnow" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CLASSPATH="."

I recommend you upgrade to valgrind 3.2.0. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 128684 ***
> I recommend you upgrade to valgrind 3.2.0 OK, Sure. I don't want to run ~x86 packages however, so I will just wait til it is stable. Also, I wonder why a bugzilla search for 'valgrind' did not turn up bug #128684 for me...strange. Thanks.
I submitted a stabilisation request (bug #144393), because I think valgrind 3.2.0 is ready for it. You can keep track of that bug to see when valgrind goes stable.
