Best to discuss technical questions on the mailinglist.

But basically valgrind shares the address space with the process under
inspection. So using tools using shared libraries would share those with the
process under inspection (which might want to use a different version) and that
would prevent valgrind from instrumenting and analyzing those libraries. The
tools also need to be loaded before the dynamic linker, which is normally
responsible for loading shared libraries.
