Description:

gperftools has opt-in support to use libunwind for backtraces. For binaries compiled with optimization, using libunwind is essential as the fallback
is frame pointer which doesn't work due as they are omitted with optimizations.

This can be done easily by adding --enable-libunwind to configure flags and add the respective package dependency.

To confirm that it's enabled, run `env LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libtcmalloc.so" TCMALLOC_STACKTRACE_METHOD_VERBOSE=1 sleep 0`.
