Could you try just installing valgrind, reconfiguring and recompile
emacs with --enable-checking (reconfigure after installing valgrind, as
configure checks for its header file) and then running 'valgrind emacs'
and posting the result.  I tried this now without making any more
complex changes suggested in DEBUG and emacs did manage to run.  There
were a couple of warnings about pselect and writev, but otherwise it
seemed to work okay.

It's possible something useful will come out.  If not, we can consider
whether it's worth trying the more complex stuff.
