Subject: [ptxdist] Including valgrind in the configuration doesn't trigger an un-optimized build of glibc.

I'm currently using ptxdist 2015.10.0 and I've selected valgrind as a
built-in option in the 'Debug Tools' using menuconfig.  Valgrind is then
installed in my image at /usr/bin/valgrind.  However, it is currently
not usable since the available glibc is too optimized, resulting in the
following message.

I've found a couple of references to the optimization being the culprit,
such as https://sourceforge.net/p/valgrind/mailman/message/30887009/

Is there a method of configuring glibc to build un-optimized ( below
-O2) for use with the valgrind tool?

Can the valgrind selection automatically trigger this un-optimized
build?

Or, if there are other suggestions for addressing this issue, I'd like
to hear them.

 

Thanks,
