Never use -fomit-frame-pointer unless you know exactly what you are
compiling. It makes debugging impossible, breaks all C++ stuff that
uses exceptions (probably the same for other frontends like java), and
can cause lots of other pain.

If sorcery provides this option I suggest strongly to remove it since
you will probably never get a usable system if all your software has
been compiled that way.
