[Valgrind-users] valgrind-3.8.x cannot build with glibc-2.17

[vijay n. <vi...@gm...>]

Hi,

I was trying to compile valgrind-3.8.1 with the latest glibc-2.17 and I was
getting the following error

"Valgrind requires glibc version 2.2 - 2.16".

I made some changes in configure script and I was able to compile it
successfully. Is valgrind-3.8.1 not recommended for glibc-2.17 ?

Below is the patch for the same.
