 Hi,
 
 I am the maintainer of the valgrind ports.  Thanks for looking into this!
 
 If you want, you can send me those suppression files before submitting
 them to GNATs, so I can have a look at them. Or just Cc: them to me, and
 I can give my commit approval (I will also forward them to Doug Rabson,
 who is the person who actually ported valgrind to FreeBSD).
 
 Simon
