This is a release critical bug in valgrind. valgrind does not understand
the new toolchain defaults like stack clash protection on armhf and just
segfaults (in Ubuntu we have partially recovered by disabling stack
clash protection but it crashes on invalid writes there, I suppose we
need to rebuild some more apt dependencies without the flag...).

As there doesn't appear to be any progress on the valgrind or toolchain
sides to fix these issues, I'll go and disable valgrind on armhf in the
next apt upload, but I am cloning this to valgrind to make it clear that
it's horribly borked.
