Installing the debuginfo rpms would be the preferred way. There is no 
question that the executable being debugged is the same as the one in 
the RPM. The debuginfo RPMS install just like any other RPM. The GDB and 
OProfile in the Fedora RPMs should have no problems reading the data 
installed by the debuginfo RPMs.
