Hello I'm trying to build valgrind for android-arm. On Linux Mint 13 it fails with:
$ make
echo "# This is a generated file, composed of the following suppression rules:" > default.supp
echo "# " exp-sgcheck.supp xfree-3.supp xfree-4.supp glibc-2.X-drd.supp glibc-2.34567-NPTL-helgrind.supp glibc-2.X.supp >> default.supp
cat exp-sgcheck.supp xfree-3.supp xfree-4.supp glibc-2.X-drd.supp glibc-2.34567-NPTL-helgrind.supp glibc-2.X.supp >> default.supp

I am using ndk-r8e and valgrind 3.8.1. The configure ends with:
Maximum build arch: arm
Primary build arch: arm
Secondary build arch:
Build OS: linux
Primary build target: ARM_LINUX
Secondary build target:
Platform variant: vanilla
Primary -DVGPV string: -DVGPV_arm_linux_vanilla=1
Default supp files: exp-sgcheck.supp xfree-3.supp xfree-4.supp glibc-2.X-drd.supp glibc-2.34567-NPTL-helgrind.supp glibc-2.X.supp
What can I do to fix this? Alternatively, are there any pre-built android-arm valgrind binaries that I can use?
The problem I had was that the configure script was ignoring the environment variables. To configure the make file I instead did this:
sudo ./configure --prefix=/data/local/Inst --host=armv7-unknown-linux --target=armv7-unknown-linux --with-tmpdir=/sdcard0 CPPFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDKROOT/platforms/android-3/arch-arm -DANDROID_HARDWARE_$HWKIND" CFLAGS="--sysroot=$NDKROOT/platforms/android-3/arch-arm" CC=$CC LD=$LD AR=$AR
This ensures the variables are set properly and works with Linux Mint 13. It does not work on OSX Mountain Lion however. I'd advise anyone using OSX without access to a linux installation to try using linux on a virtual machine.
