Hi Anmol,

I am using PPC476 FP variant. I looked at the bug posting but the assert 
error mentioned in posting is at a different line then where I am getting it 
and so wondering if I had configured valgrind correctly.

   vg_assert(vai.ppc_cache_line_szB == 0
             || vai.ppc_cache_line_szB == szB); -- I get error at this line.

   
  vg_assert(szB == 32 || szB == 64 || szB == 128); -- posting in bugzilla is 
for this line.

The two lines above are in the same function in m_machine.c one after other.

Note: when I comment the above line, compilation goes without error and I 
could run valgrind. Is it safe to comment the above line which is giving 
error?

Warm Regards,
Vishal
