Not sure if I understood the question correctly, but I was referring only to
valgrind's armel build (I don't quite have the power to eliminate a whole
Debian port I'm afraid ;)

Also, please CC me since I'm not subscibed to the list (I forgot to mention
that before).

I'm aware of those patches (see #701691), they don't work though (even if you
make them apply and build).

To add a little more context:

* 1:3.8.1-4 built on ancina on 2013-06-01
* 1:3.8.1-4+b1 failed twice on ancina on 2013-08-21/22
* 1:3.8.1-5 failed on antheil on 2013-09-24

The fact that it built fine and then 2 months later failed on ancina looks
weird to me, and I can't think of any change that could have triggered this.

Also, please CC me since I'm not subscibed to the list.
