Right. %{valgrind_arches} is the set of arches that valgrind supports.
So you should be able to use it to select whether or not to add
valgrind support to your package or run your package check testsuite
under valgrind. But there can always be bugs that are specific to a
specific architecture, package or testsuite. If there is such a bug and
you have to workaround running your package testsuite against valgrind
on some specific architecture, then please do report a bug against
valgrind. No guarantees it can be fixed quickly. But we can only fix
issues we know about.

Thanks,

Mark
