Memory debugging tools for kFreeBSD

[Adam Majer]

Hello

There seems to be some type of BSD-specific bug in Qt/XmlPatterns that
results in memory corruption. I've been trying to debug this issue on
falla, but I'm having problems identifying the source of the
corruption. My main issue is that unavailability of valgrind.

This memory corruption results in intermittent build failure for Qt
Creator. [1]

What is the recommended way to debug memory access issues on kFreeBSD?

Some time ago I prepared patches that allowed me to build and use
valgrind on kFreeBSD.  Unfortunately, this has not been incorporated
into the Debian package.  I feel like I still haven't managed to figure
out how to effectively collaborate within the Debian project.  I also
have no idea whether the patch is still applicable to the current
valgrind version.
