Valgrind on AM335x

Hi All,

I have cross compiled valgrind-3.8.1 for am335x processor by using the arm toolchain provided in TI-SDK-5.0.4. But when i try to run this application on my target board,

i am getting the below mentioned error:

root@am335x-evm:~# ./valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes --show-reachable=
yes --num-callers=20 --track-fds=yes ./memory_leak          
==1905== Memcheck, a memory error detector

valgrind:  Fatal error at startup: a function redirection
valgrind:  which is mandatory for this platform-tool combination
valgrind:  cannot be set up.  Details of the redirection are:

valgrind:  for your Linux distribution to please in future ship a non-

valgrind:  that exports the above-named function using the standard
valgrind:  calling conventions for this platform.  The package you need
valgrind:  to install for fix (1) is called
valgrind:

valgrind:    On SuSE, openSuSE, Fedora, RHEL:   glibc-debuginfo
valgrind:  
valgrind:  Cannot continue -- exiting now.  Sorry.

From the below mentioned link, i came to know that, valgrind is supported in armv7a based processor.

Please let me know the solution of the above mentioned issue.

    I know this thread is old, but I thought I would post a fix in case anyone else comes across this.

    This issue is gone in SDK 6.0. It has a newer version of ld-linux (although I'm not sure that's why this is fixed).

    If using one of the SDK 5.x filesystems, the following thread suggests commenting out a couple references to memcpy and strlen in coregrind/m_redir.c

    For details, take a look at this thread:
    http://sourceforge.net/p/valgrind/mailman/message/30887009/

    How did you resolve the issue?  I'm running into the same thing.  And I'm wondering if it's because I have a stripped dynamic linker, ld-linux-armhf.so.3.
