Also, is the same true for the tool, Helgrind ? Does the Helgrind tool, part of the Valgrind x86_64 package, work for both 32bit & 64bit applications ? Asking because -- when we tried to run Helgrind on RHEL 5.3 (Valgrind - 3.2.1-6.e15 ), it says Helgrind not supported and says use Valgrind - 2.4 for Helgrind support !!
