Have you tested the rpms provided in rawhide?
I just tried the rawhide valgrind-3.1.1-3 RPM. It seems to work fine, though I've really done little more than a quick sanity check. The newer rpm also fixes a bug that I was otherwise planning to report. I came across this while working on my own custom valgrind instrumentation tool (still in development): In theory, valgrind can use debug info to find the source file and line number for any given instruction. However, no source information is available when using the standard FC5 valgrind-3.1.0-2 RPM. If I switch to the rawhide valgrind-3.1.1-3 RPM, then the expected source information does appear. So I Jonathan Underwood's recommendation that this be rolled out as a Fedora Core 5 update.
I've been using the rawhide rpm for the past week or so, and have seen no regressions so far.
Version 3.2 is now out - would be nice to get an upgrade for FC-5 to that. Will try the devel rpms tonight.
FC5 is no longer supported and newer valgrind is shipped in FC6 and F7.
