Hi

I'll apply the configure patch after the release.

Not having a C++ compiler. I can just about imagine someone building and 
using Valgrind without a C++ compiler - in some situations it might make 
automatic package building faster. Is there any benefit to being able to 
run only the non-C++ testcases?

It's a while since I tried an out of tree build. There is a bugzilla 
item for that https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333628

What platform did you use for "make perf"?

A+
