Thanks for pointing me to these, I missed them.

In the past I had been working on a package where there were
issues in glibc that were not recorded in a shipped
suppression file.  It was the same thing for OS X.

Bison's test suite support Valgrind, but there are many "native" errors
to suppress on OS X too before it's usable.
