Yes, this would be a good idea ... I don't think it'll cause problems on non-x86. Worst case it would just produce non-functional debuginfo files there. > As for this bug, it did happen before entering the main OCaml code. > By single stepping through assembly code (that was fun), I was able to > eventually drop back down into OCaml code, which is where the problem > turned out to be (in an initializer).

I guess a missing emulation of this insn in valgrind, but I'll let people who know more about ARM answer that!
