pfLinux being a shorter notation for OpenGL|Performer on linux?

Performer apps can choose to load debug versions of the shared
objects dynamically. To force this, make sure that the shared
lib directories...

/usr/lib/Performer/Debug/libpfdb
/usr/lib/Performer/Debug

...take precedent over the /usr/lib shared objs.

Use $LD_LIBRARY_PATH for this purpose.

This will help you debug inside the pf libs.
For your own app, you could experiment with gcc's
debug level (-g3) and with -ggdb
