[yocto] valgrind-native

[Woronicz, Bartosz ( NSN - PL/Wroclaw)]

Hi Ross,

many thanks for nice explanation. At my shallow research, I notice, that 
valgrind is somewhat special demanding packages with debugging symbols, 
sooo... I actually don't need all packages to be unstripped. Only those 
I am developing and testing. Therefore i might need create some class 
that will require debug symbols.
And, propalby I will also need glibc with DBG symbols... or not ?


"Presumably you added BBCLASSEXTEND=native yourself, so you get to fix 
it. :)"
Indeed, I did so ;-]

Kind regards,
