Description Dennis Gilmore 2013-03-23 16:29:28 UTC

Support for the ARM 64 bit CPU architecture (aarch64) was introduced in 
autoconf 2.69.  valgrind appears to use an earlier version of 
autoconf, preventing its being built.  This can be fixed in of three ways (In order of preference):

1. Work with upstream to migrate the package to autoconf 2.69.

2. Rerun autoconf or autoreconf in %prep or %build prior to running 
configure.

3. Apply the patch at http://ausil.fedorapeople.org/aarch64/valgrind/valgrind-aarch64.patch
which updates config.guess and config.sub to recognize aarch64.

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2013-03-23 16:40:12 UTC

That looks pretty much as a useless patch, valgrind would need an aarch64 port first, which is several months of work usually.

Comment 2 Mark Wielaard 2013-03-23 20:50:31 UTC

I agree with Jakub. This doesn't make any sense unless someone is writing an ARM64 port. I don't know about anybody working on it upstream. Lets close till that happens.
