That would require running valgrind tests with something like
debug level -1 ;) because what LTP_REPRODUCIBLE_OUTPUT actually
does is that it hides testrun specific output like e.g. testrun
specific addresses, temporary file names etc.

But I think a regular human user of LTP expects these to be
printed out.  So that should be the default imho.
