-gl still adds lineinfo (a subset debug info). SO useful, but different 
name.

If stabs/dwarf do follow, and the package has no debug info, but it has 
-gl, then there is some trick to set the line info to the wanted format. 
But I do not remember ...

Not sure if should follow.

maybe -vg  (IIRC -vg is an extension to either stabs or dwarf, it 
changes the debug info generated (it drops some stuff, that older 
valgrind did not understand)

but -pg, I do not think. You do not necessaries want to profile packages.

good question
