Hey, we have a respository for that!
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RawhideKernelNodebug
This should get you builds of the rawhide kernel without all of those
debugging options turned on.

As much as I hate to say it, there are very few of us (kernel
maintainers), and a lot of bugs.  The fact that this is limited to
debug kernels has made it pretty low priority.  It's not that we don't
want to see it fixed, just that there are unfortunately more bugs
which do impact releases.  Asking upstream might be more fruitful
here.
