It is *always* a bad idea to run an application as root
unless the app requires elevated privileges.  DO NOT run valgrind as root.
Create and run as a real non-root user; consult your system documentation.

Check if you get the same or similar message when running something other than callgrind.
Try  --tool=none  or  --tool=memcheck .

Inspect the file  /opt/valgrind/lib/valgrind/callgrind-arm-linux .
It should be a copy of some callgrind-x86-linux located within the build directory.
(It is common to run out of disk space on a machine where you are tempted
to run apps as the root user.)
What does the 'file' utility program say about callgrind-arm-linux?
Does "readelf --sections" give good output?

Compare /opt/valgrind/lib/valgrind/callgrind-arm-linux with callgrind-i686-linux
(because you say that it works on x86 ubutntu.)  Obviously the exact contents differ,
but other characteristics (size, owner, date, permissions, ...) should be similar.
