More accurately:
 * apply the valgrind patch first:
   http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/174029/
 * then apply the 11 patch configure series

I believe the valgrind test patch should fix the issues Blue Swirl
was seeing with the 11-patch series (and I tested it on debian
squeeze which I think has the same gcc Blue was using).

Patch 11/11 does enable -Werror on test code in a way which
causes configure to fail noisily if it encounters a warning:
I think it's better to commit this early rather than late
because then we can fix any lingering problems with odd
hosts or configurations which I missed. (The noisy failure
includes a clear message about how to work around it in
the interim, which is better than our current situation IMHO.)
