That's not necessary. You just need to install the corresponding 
-debuginfo packages from

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$arch/debug/

(substituting $arch with your architecture).

Both gdb and valgrind appear to automatically detect -debuginfo packages
and use the debugging information therein, including the source code, so 
you shouldn't need to do anything special other than installing the 
-debuginfo packages.

Note that normally one -debuginfo package is generated per source RPM, not 
one per binary RPM. To find the source rpm name for a package, use

rpm -qi package

and look for "Source RPM".
