OK. I've done a bit of reading on oprofile. Apparently I have to have
'things' compiled with debugging symbols. Can someone please provide a
list of relevant 'things'? *Everything* on my system is compiled without
debugging symbols, but I'll fix that if someone gives me a list.

I assume I'll need:

- glibc
- xserver
- libpixman
- xf86-video-intel

Right? More? Less?
