That's not necessary. You just need to install the corresponding -debuginfo packages from
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$arch/de...
(substituting $arch with your architecture).
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".
