How exactly is it going to do that?
Fundamentally, the buildfarm client is simply glue to run existing build
and test code, collect the results, and send them to the server. AFAICT
there are no configure or make targets for running under valgrind.
If someone provides the requisite support in the build system for this
I'll be happy to add buildfarm support for it.
