Follow the directions in the top-level README file of the source tree:
$ ./autogen.sh ## if using raw SVN sources; omit otherwise
$ ./configure --prefix=/where/you/want/it/installed
$ make
$ make install
Valgrind itself runs under Linux or Android on most ARM (except possibly
ancient ARMv4),
and can supervise the execution of many programs running on almost any ARM chip.
The question is whether valgrind understands all the opcodes that are used by
the particular program being supervised. In the case of ARMv6 architecture,
then the "media instructions" are not yet complete, so a program which
uses those instructions won't run [yet] under valgrind.
It would help to produce an explicit list, and/or characterize,
the "most important" instructions which valgrind should implement first.
