Bug#767756: glibc: Consider providing a libc build compiled with -fno-omit-frame-pointer to help with profiling

Yea, I'm hitting this more and more often. Especially with the new eBPF
backed profiling tools like bcc, which, for the forseeable future, only
support frame pointer based unwinding. Also fp based unwinding is a lot
more efficient.

I was thinking of adding a libc6-frame-pointers which would replace (and
conflict with) libc6. But that's just because it was what I could think
of.

Maybe it'd be better to let those be co-installed by using a different
triplet and allow to chose which to use via /etc/ld.so.conf/something?
Not pretty either :(

Same here. I'd primarily like some guidance about what approach is more
likely to be accepted.

Well, a workaround remains a workaround. There is no reason why we
shouldn't just fix the bug at its source, glibc. Otherwise we'd keep
chasing packages which would need a workaround, that's really not the
way to go.

So I'm reassigning to glibc.

This is something expected, as openjdk-7 has been removed from
testing/unstable [1]. You should switch to openjdk-8 or if you can't
install the openjdk-7 package from experimental.

This is therefore not a bug in tzdata, closing the bug.
