This commit re-enables decompression of debuginfo files in gprof when dealing with split debuginfo. This fixes issues where gprof couldn’t find symbols when debug information was separated into a dedicated file. The change ensures that gprof can properly access and utilize the debug information, even when it’s stored in a compressed format within a separate file.
