It looks like it detected valgrind headers, but is then unable to use a
macro it expects to be in there.

A quick-and-dirty workaround to get cairo building would be to pass
--disable-valgrind as a configure parameter, but if you want to debug
the problem you should probably look in config.log and see what
valgrind headers cairo is using (and why the don't contain
VALGRIND_MAKE_MEM_... macros).
