That's not necessary. You just need to install the corresponding

Both gdb and valgrind appear to automatically detect -debuginfo packages
and use the debugging information therein, including the source code, so
you shouldn't need to do anything special other than installing the
-debuginfo packages.
Note that normally one -debuginfo package is generated per source RPM, not
one per binary RPM. To find the source rpm name for a package, use
rpm -qi package
and look for "Source RPM".

Thank you very much for the insight. I was completely ignorant of this
feature. Let's see if I can put this information to some kind of good
use. A little knowledge can be dangerous u know!
