Package: valgrind Version: 1:3.6.0~svn11254+nmu1 Severity: important Hi!
Valgrind is broken for PowerPC, just starting it without any further command to run already causes a segmentation fault. Running it on any executable has the same problem. There is a patch available, the simple recipe mentioned in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/valgrind/+bug/484048 or http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214223 works. Or maybe one should say it works around the issue, which could be nonportable valgrind code or a GCC bug. Note: This is not related to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=529016, which also reports breakage on PowerPC, but the problem is a different one. With the change mentioned above, valgrind is again usable on PowerPC. Thanks!
