I don't really see how that'd work. make check et al. start postgres via pg_ctl, so we need to invoke valgrind from there. Additionally I don't want to just be able to run make check via valgrind, but all contrib modules et al too, including eventually the replication regression tests and such. > If that doesn't work and you want to do something with the buildfarm, > probably a buildfarm module would be the way to go.

What I'm decidedly unhappy with right now is that this seems to require moving make install up, or manually add a new file for installation. The reason for that is that if we replace the postgres binary with the wrapper, the original file obviously doesn't get installed anymore. So it's invoked at it's original location; which only works if share files are installed in the correct location. I do wonder if adding a PGCTLPOSTGRESWRAPPER or something to pg_ctl would be ok. That'd just supplant calling the postgres binary, making all this easier.
