I think we have no evidence that you could not get the same results using Fedora's current profiling tools. If the GNOME's sysprof does not work with Fedora, fix it or use something else. Do not change how Fedora is built. It's not really going to work anyway because typical workloads spent 5% to 10% in glibc's string functions. Those functions won't have frame pointers without some non-trivial development work (and also an ongoing maintenance cost). If you change compiler flags only, you still won't get accurate backtraces in many cases. I had some interactions with Red Hat's performance teams over the years, and to my knowledge, the lack of frame pointers has never come up.
