I think we might be evading the real issue here. Which symbols are
valgrind interested in ? is this something ppc specific or general
case. Are we stripping ld.so too much ?
some of the symbols are needed to be kept for ld.so for gdb to work
and I am guessing its similar kind of issue here. If you can figure
this then we may solve this issue by just not stripping needed symbols
