Bug#767756: glibc: Consider providing a libc build compiled with -fno-omit-frame-pointer to help with profiling
Hi all,
Fedora and Ubuntu [1] have now enabled frame pointers on amd64 by default,
providing a great profiling experience out-of-the-box. I think it may be time
for Debian to reconsider its position here; the performance overhead is very
small and meanwhile this lack of frame pointers is preventing other, much more
significant performance improvements by making it hard or impossible to properly
profile applications.

Kind regards,
