valgrind can run the OpenSmalltalk (a dialect or fork of Squeak) interpreter on OpenIndiana.
I reported a bug (not sure this is really a bug) for it #17199. This relates to https://illumos.org/man/7/epoll because epoll can be enabled for OpenSmalltalk on OpenIndiana. This is to my knowledge, different from Solaris, as the Illumos kernel supports Linux epoll. OpenSmalltalk on Linux also has some issues with epoll (some Linux users prefer to disable the Linux epoll support in OpenSmalltalk). The Illumos manpage states "The epoll facility is implemented for purposes of offering compatibility to and portability of Linux-borne applications; native applications should continue to prefer using event ports via the port_create(3C), port_associate(3C) and port_getn(3C) interfaces." So in fact, it may be better to simply disable epoll for OpenSmalltalk, but if it is enabled, valgrind emits messages related to epoll_ctl().
