I am investigating, and so far, only valgind failed to find boost,
apparently:
abiword ok
akonadi ?
cairomm
clucene ok
ekiga ok
exempi perhaps
gnash ok
inkscape ok
kdepim ?
kdepimlibs ?
kde-workspace ?
libreoffice ok
mariadb ok
swig
valgrind fail
I am starting to investigate swig and cairomm, but not akonadi, kdepim,
kdepimlibs nor kde-workspace.
Valgrind apparently is fixed with:
sed -e 's/\(lboost_thread\)-mt/\1/g' \
-e 's/\(lboost_system\)-mt/\1/g' \
-i configure
