Description:

After installing valgrind 3.8.1-1 on x86_64, attempting to run 'valgrind <some 32-bit binary>' gives:

valgrind: failed to start tool 'memcheck' for platform 'x86-linux': No such file or directory

Being able to debug both 32-bit and 64-bit applications is extremely useful for those of us that work on graphics drivers, as we end up dealing with a variety of games built for one architecture or the other.

Valgrind already supports installing a single version that can do both. However, Arch's PKGBUILD disables it explicitly:

if [ "${CARCH}" = "x86_64" ]; then
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-only64bit
else
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
fi

Would it be possible to either have the [multilib] repository provide a version of valgrind built without --enable-only64bit? Or, a second lib32-valgrind package? Thanks!

Additional information:
- I have the [multilib] repository enabled.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  [extra] is pure x86_64. No-one wants to support it on [multilib]
