I ran into this recently.  The problem is that valgrind needs automake
1.6 or newer - AM_CCASFLAGS is ignored by automake 1.4 and 1.5, and so
the vg_dispatch.S is built without the -I switches in add_includes:

gcc  -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -c `test -f vg_dispatch.S || echo './'`vg_dispatch.S

The easiest fix is to insist on a newer automake - add this line to
coregrind/Makefile.am (putting it first is conventional):

AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = 1.6
