Description of problem: I maintain the stp package. It is currently failing to build in Rawhide on x86_64 because its self-tests use valgrind to check for memory leaks, and it is getting this: ==22918== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==22918== Copyright (C) 2002-2012, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==22918== Using Valgrind-3.8.1 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==22918== Command: ./a3.out ==22918== ==22918== Use of uninitialised value of size 8 ==22918== at 0x401953D: index (in /usr/lib64/ld-2.18.90.so) ==22918== by 0x4007DAD: expand_dynamic_string_token (in /usr/lib64/ld-2.18.90.so) ==22918== by 0x400886F: _dl_map_object (in /usr/lib64/ld-2.18.90.so) ==22918== by 0x400142D: map_doit (in /usr/lib64/ld-2.18.90.so) ==22918== by 0x400FA93: _dl_catch_error (in /usr/lib64/ld-2.18.90.so) ==22918== by 0x4001009: do_preload (in /usr/lib64/ld-2.18.90.so) ==22918== by 0x4004440: dl_main (in /usr/lib64/ld-2.18.90.so) ==22918== by 0x4016F34: _dl_sysdep_start (in /usr/lib64/ld-2.18.90.so) ==22918== by 0x4004CF7: _dl_start (in /usr/lib64/ld-2.18.90.so) ==22918== by 0x4001247: ???

Expected results: Successful build. Additional info:
This is fixed upstream, and it only happens with the glibc in rawhide, f20 is fine. My current guess is that it is this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308627 but it is difficult to backport that and the followup patches to our valgrind-3.8.1 variant in fedora. So lets add a suppression for now as workaround that can be removed when 3.9.0 is released and imported. Please test valgrind-3.8.1-30.fc21.
I just did a mock build with valgrind-3.8.1-30.fc21, and that resulted in a successful build of stp. Thank you once again for a quick resolution to the problem, Mark.
Thanks for reporting and testing.
