Bug 199001 – dev-util/valgrind fails to compile against glibc-2.7

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description nedrandersoff 2007-11-13 00:45:29 UTC]

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 http://developer.momonga-linux.org/viewvc/trunk/pkgs/valgrind/valgrind-3.2.3-glibc2_7.patch?view=log

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.
