Why do you do -fno-omit-frame-pointer on x86_64 the ABI requires dwarf or is there something I'm missing?

Frame pointers make things easier for tools to get backtraces without requiring complex dwarf unwinders. The observability is something I value more than not being able to use that register for other things.
