Oh yeah.  For example, we play all sorts of tricks in our OpenMP
implementation to get higher performance, including mixing pthreads and
a home-grown light-weight threads package.  We'd be happy to augment
everything and anything so that our customers can Valgrind their OpenMP
applications without spurious errors.
