Which is something of a showstopper... if the tests don't run, then
the devs won't use out-of-path builds, and if the devs won't use them
they'll be basically untested and thus permanently broken.

Since Valgrind has very little in the way of configure-time
variability (no optimised vs. debug builds, for example) out-of-path
builds don't seem to provide much benefit.  So AFAIK there wouldn't be
much benefit to supporting it, other than some people like doing it.
