I don't think anyone has tried.  It is not possible (without moderate to
severe pain) to build some 32-bit programs on Opteron machines running
64-bit distros due to include file conflicts that preclude installing
the 32-bit devel packages.  Whether or not this is the case for valgrind
remains to be seen.

By the way, you should be passing the CFLAGS and friends to configure,
not to make.
