Also, although your main application clearly has debug information, your target file system's libraries may not. Make sure that you have debuginfo files in /usr/lib/.debug (default) or /usr/lib/debug. I'm not sure how valgrind intercepts the malloc/free calls, but I assume that valgrind will have a terrible time backtracing without dwarf info, at least on some flavors of arm.

The patch can not impact the run-time binaries since it only removes building some valgrind tests that wouldn't compile in the yocto cross-compilation environment, as well as some test specific CFLAGs. These tests are built when the yocto PTEST framework is enabled, but typically not installed into even a developer's file system image.
