While building 4.75 RC2 on IRIX, we stumbled over two problems:

- scripts/lookups-Makefile uses the $(command) syntax for command
substitution, which isn't supported by the traditional Bourne shell
implementations used by most commercial Unix systems. It would be
more portable to use the `command` syntax instead.

- If NVALGRIND is defined, src/valgrind.h defines VALGRIND_PRINTF and
VALGRIND_PRINTF_BACKTRACE as no-op macros:

# define VALGRIND_PRINTF(...)
# define VALGRIND_PRINTF_BACKTRACE(...)

The (...) syntax is C99-specific, plain ANSI C89 compilers don't
support variadic macros. Neither of these macros is currently used in
the code, so maybe they could just be removed from src/valgrind.h.
Otherwise, it would be more portable to define variadic functions
instead of the C99 macros.
