We tried that before, but *grind slows down performance too much, so we cannot 
profile the affected binary. (It's some kind of soft real time application, so 
we can't just let it sit and run over night.)

It currently looks like we have some success with perf right now. The key 
seems to be to add "-fno-inline-functions-called-once" to the compilation 
flags to get any meaningful call stack.
