  I tried upgrading to the debian testing version of valgrind, 1:3.13.0-2.
  That doesn't complain about unknown instructions, but causes some
  miscomputation. E.g.,
  
    ~/build/gmp/mini-gmp/tests/t-mul
  
  succeeds when run normally, but running under valgrind fails like
  
  mpz_mul failed:
  a: -ffffffffffffffffffffff00000007ffffffffffffff00000000000000fffffffffffffffffffff
  b: 1fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffe00007ffffffff

I'd suggest to get an official valgrind release (not a Debian improved
variant) and if that too is buggy, report it to Julian et al:
