Ubuntu 24.10 To Enable Frame Pointers For More Packages

With Ubuntu 24.04 LTS was a fundamental change made by Canonical to enable frame pointers by default for their packages in the name of improving the debugging and profiling experience. From last week's Ubuntu Foundations Team status updates, there's a push to address those packages where frame pointers aren't currently present. Among the recently updated packages for Ubuntu 24.10 to ensure frame pointers are Authbind, Gobi-launcher, ubuntu-drivers-common, tftp-hpa, lp-solve, lshw, U-Boot tools, Crash, ipvsadm, google-compute-engine-oslogin, and others.
