It's already there:

        ewarn "Valgrind will not work on ppc, ppc64 or amd64 if glibc does not have"
        ewarn "debug symbols (see https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214065"
        ewarn "and http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=274771)."
        ewarn "To fix this you can add splitdebug to FEATURES in make.conf and"
        ewarn "remerge glibc."
