I stumbled across a recent port of valgrind-2.4 that "works" for PPC's
http://valgrind.org/downloads/variants.html?pmk
I ran some, but not all, of the tests and they appear to work.
Next on my list of hacker tools for PPC's is a working version of
memprof-0.5.1
http://www.gnome.org/projects/memprof/
I have done an initial hack modifying three troublesome source files:
* bfdutils.c
* memintercept-utils.c
* stack-frame.c
to get memprof to build.
The patches for the first two routines arise from coding changes in
libbfd since 2002.
The patch for stack-frame.c is a blatant hack to work around some i386
specific code. Constructing the "correct" patch should be a simple task
for someone who is actually fluent in PPC assembler. I am not...
Some other hacker-tools that build on a PPC
* alleyoop-0.8.3
* at-poke-0.2.2
* devhelp-0.10
* ghex-2.8.1
* mlview-0.7.1
can be found at
