I think it's a legitimate complaint that postmaster.log wasn't captured
in this failure, but that's a buildfarm script oversight and hardly
Andres' fault.
In any case, valgrind failures are generally easy enough to reproduce
locally.
Meanwhile, over on
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=snapper&dt=2017-11-23%2013%3A56%3A17
we have
ccache gcc-4.7 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels
-Wmissing-format-attribute-Wformat-security -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -fexcess-precision=standard -g -g -O2

-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2-D_GNU_SOURCE -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/mit-krb5 -c -o generation.o generation.c
generation.c: In function ‘GenerationContextCreate’:
generation.c:206:7: error: static assertion failed: "padding calculation in GenerationChunk is wrong"
make[4]: *** [generation.o] Error 1
Looks to me like GenerationChunk imagines that 3*sizeof(pointer)
must be a maxaligned quantity, which is wrong on platforms where
MAXALIGN is bigger than sizeof(pointer).
