Hi All,

As I am going through my tagging journey, I seem to be having issues
with the Valgrind test suite. I hear all over the internet that it
does not work, and I get the following errors out of it (and running a
"make -k regtest" does absolutely nothing for this)

== 611 tests, 18 stderr failures, 0 stdout failures, 0 stderrB
failures, 3 stdoutB failures, 2 post failures ==

Note that this is with GDB installed only. I am going to install boost
and llvm next to see if that improves anything. This is more of a
report than anything else.

I would like to propose that we set the Valgrind test suite to "This
package does not come with a working test suite" at this point. I have
also tried the test suite on my GCC 4.9.2 system as well, and I get
similar results.

I think just documenting that 23 tests out of 611 fail would be more appropriate. Have you looked at why the tests fail? For instance, I notice from the test names that some seem to need tcl. Do you have tcl installed?
