New description:
The optional valgrind-3.1.1 did not build in Fedora 12 x86_64
reason: glibc-11 is not supported. Even in the last released stable
valgrind-3.5.0
So I downloaded from SVN and made an spkg.
See: [http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jsp/valgrind-3.6.0.svn.spkg]
Urgent: we need a maintainer other than me and Michael!

Comment(by iandrus):
I created a new spkg from 3.6.1. Since 3.6.1 works on OS X 10.6, I added
support for that as well. You can find the spkg at
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/iandrus/valgrind-3.6.1.p0.spkg
I based it off of the spkg at #7440.
One other (perhaps controversial) thing that I did is add suppressions so
that starting sage under valgrind and immediately exiting shows no leaks.
I was also using the suppression file provided by python which should
probably be installed as part of the python spkg-install. Some (or many)
of these may be actual leaks, but I don't have the expertise to check them
all. Because I don't know if all the suppressions are valid I'm hesitant
to mark this as needs_review.
