Ok. In the next days I try to trace function entry/exit with a tool based on
PIN on the same program, I hope I can understand more about differences
between my code and callgrind. It's not easy to catch errors if you don't
know the function flow :(

The original (stupid) program is this: http://pastebin.com/M1AaTMWN

Obtained with objdump -d /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ld-2.13.so--start-address=0x16c20

It's printed by the helper function (called at the beginning of a BB) when
Valgrind doesn't give me debug info [VG_(get_fnname)],

Ok, thanks.

In the next days I modify my code based on your observations. We'll see what
I get :)
