That's weird.  What's the output of:

  nm /usr/lib/libpthread.so | grep pthread_atfork

?  Does it define pthread_atfork?  Can you compile any program that uses
pthread_atfork?

A temporary hack to workaround is to change the SUBDIRS variable in
valgrind/memcheck/Makefile.in from this:

  SUBDIRS =3D . tests docs

to this:

  SUBDIRS =3D . docs

The 'tests' directory contains the regression tests, and missing those
won't cause you any grief.
