[meta-freescale] valgrind - imx6

Hi,

has anyone ever tried to use valgrind on the imx6?
I've tried twice now .. first time I could get it running by disabling neon 
within Qt.

... but now I'm trying to profile QtMultimedia and that's using system libs 
which crash valgrind with following error:

disInstr(arm): unhandled instruction: 0xEEFA0BCB
                 cond=14(0xE) 27:20=239(0xEF) 4:4=0 3:0=11(0xB)
==2718== valgrind: Unrecognised instruction at address 0x118c7dd4.
==2718==    at 0x118C7DD4: pa_bytes_snprint (in /usr/lib/libpulse.so.0.15.3)



I think it's neon again (it's the same instruction)... so I wondered ... 
valgrind is supposed to support neon since 3.6 (yocto has 3.8).

.o0(  maybe it's not neon ...disabling neon within Qt could have had side-
effects which where the actual solution... )


Has anyone seen this? Knows a solution?
Maybe it's a simple valgrind-configure-setup issue?

 ... I'm not eager to build a complete yocto build without neon, although I 
guess I would do it if nothing else helps.

Greets
Thomas
