--- Comment #7 from Paul Floyd <pjfl...@wanadoo.fr> ---
Indeed. I've been tryiing to slowly clear out some old bugzilla items.

Normally the way that valgrind works is that valgrind is a small stub exe that
just execs the tool (I'll use helgrind as an example). helgrind doesn't link
with libc and doesn't even have a main(). It just has an assembler _start. It
bootstraps itself out of the way of the memory that the guest gets loaded into.
Then to start the guest it sets LD_PRELOAD for the core and helgrind preload
dynamic libs, loads ld.so and the guest exe and starts running the ld.so code
in the Valgrind VM.

Normally the undefined symbols in the preload helgrind lib will be satisfied by
the guest exe, either directly or indirectly.

If this is no longer an issue, can I close it?
