For the ability to profile our code with perf (and to generate the most readable flamegraphs) it is important to:

• Compile with -fno-omit-frame-pointer (unless the compiler already defaults to using this flag?)
• Compile with some debug symbols (unless you don't need detailed stack traces of your node module)

Doing this would move node-cpp-skel to doing a "profiling" build by default: https://github.com/mapbox/cpp/blob/master/glossary.md#profiling-build.

We can accomplish this by applying something like mapnik/node-mapnik#804 to node-cpp-skel.
