So it appears to be a combination of memchecker=yes automatically requiring valgrind, and the override on the configure line of a param set by a platform file not working.
So I can't speak to the valgrind/memchecker issue, but can to the platform/configure issue. The platform file was intended to provide a mechanism to allow repeatability in builds. By design, options in the platform file have higher priority than options given on the configure command line.
