You need non-stripped binaries or the debugging symbols in a package. In
Debian this is done through packages with the -dbg suffix (e.g.
firefox-dbg) I thought Fedora did the same thing with the suffix
-DebugInfo. Maybe if you poked around on Fedora's FTP server they might
be in there somewhere.

That's the general idea of what you want to see, but more of it. You
want to see a whole stack of those, but you don't because the other
libraries and applications are missing their debugging symbols.
