Description Jesper Eskilson 2004-11-11 03:15:40 UTC 
When emerging curl-7.12.0-r2, the test-phase during make fails. Most tests seem to fail with the error message:

valgrind: Missing --tool option


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge valgrind
2. emerge curl


Actual Results:  
Post-compilation tests of curl fails.

Expected Results:  
Successful emerge.

Valgrind has changed its syntax from previous versions, so running

valgrind <your program>

wont work any longer. You need to explicitly specify a tool using the --tool option:

valgrind --tool=memcheck <your program>

So, Curl needs to check which valgrind version should be used. And probably
include a USE-flag to switch valgrinding on/off.
