I have successfully cross compiled valgrid for PPC85xx architecture. I have following file
- ./coregrind/valgrind
- ./coregrind/vgpreload_core-ppc32-linux.so
- ./memcheck/memcheck-ppc32-linux
- ./memcheck/vgpreload_memcheck-ppc32-linux.so
- ./default.supp
I did put these files in /home/valg folder on target folder and exported the libraries as
export VALGRIND_LIB=/home/valg
I am running valgrind for "val" and getting this error.
[root@85xx valg11]# ./valgrind -v /home/val

I don't know what the problem is, Has someone run valgrind on powerpc architecture ? What procedure should i follow ?
