As part of Valgrind 3.7.0 SVN (not yet released so), a gdbserver has been integrated in Valgrind. With this gdbserver, the process running under Valgrind can be "fully" debugged (e.g. it is possible to use break/next/info thread/....).
This functionality has been tested on multiple platforms (including RHEL 5, similar to CentOs) with versions of gdb >= 7.0. It should also work with versions of gdb >= 6.5 (but this is not validated). So, you might try the SVN version and the gdbserver.
