Hi, you cannot install dev-util/valgrind when using linux-4.x kernel (and according to the error message using valgrind with kernel 3.x shouldn't be possible too): * Package: dev-util/valgrind-3.10.1 * Repository: gentoo * Maintainer: blueness@gentoo.org * USE: abi_x86_64 amd64 elibc_glibc kernel_linux userland_GNU * FEATURES: preserve-libs sandbox userpriv usersandbox >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking valgrind-3.10.1.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/dev-util/valgrind-3.10.1/work >>> Source unpacked in /var/tmp/portage/dev-util/valgrind-3.10.1/work >>> Preparing source in /var/tmp/portage/dev-util/valgrind-3.10.1/work/valgrind-3.10.1 ... * Applying valgrind-3.7.0-respect-flags.patch ...

If it does, I'll patch it. I don't want to relax the contraint if its going to fail.
Created attachment 399282 [details, diff] patch to configure.ac for linux 4.* support There is nothing special in linux 4.0. Valgrind can handle it as another 2.6.*/3.* release. Valgrind compiles and works with attached patch on an arm system running linux 4.0-rc4.

Basile <blueness@gentoo.org> + +files/valgrind-3.10.1-linux-4.patch, valgrind-3.10.1.ebuild: + Patch 3.10.1 to work on linux-4, bug #543648. Thanks Janne Grunau <janne- + gentoo@jannau.net>. + No rev bump needed. Let me know if this works for you guys.
