The *.supp files are some pre-canned suppression that can be used to
suppress some known errors with certain common libraries, have a read of
http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/manual-core.html#manual-core.suppress for
more info.
Valgrind doesn't modify glibc so its presence in your system won't affect
applications that you're not debugging. It does supply its own versions of
some common library routines in order to do its magic but this is done at
runtime when an app is started under valgrind's control.
