In GNU gettext, I never succeeded in making valgrind work with the libtool
wrappers; instead I noted
  # You should build with --disable-shared when using valgrind.

See [1], lines 170..199.

This is not feasible for ​Enchant, which is based around dynamically-loaded libraries.

​However, I just used a one line shell script, called run-test:

#!/bin/sh
libtool --mode=execute $VALGRIND "$@"
​

​and then in Makefile.am:

​LOG_COMPILER = $(srcdir)/run-test

It is working for me, and I'm happily fixing the bugs found by Valgrind.
