Problem Description
============================
Valgrind in Ubuntu 14.04 only has the needed bit to compile.  It is not functional and crashes when used.
 
The Ubuntu 14.04 includes the Valgrind tool using a snap shot of the Valgrind SVN repository from April 11, 2014.  The snap shot is  the Valgrind 3.9 release and an IBM patch allow the Valgrind tool to compile for PPC64 little endian.  However, the needed functional changes did not go into the Valgrind SVN repository until early August 2014.  The latest Valgrind release came out in early September 2014.

We request that the next incremental release of Ubuntu 14.04 move to the
Valgrind 3.10 release with the full PPC64 little endian support.
