Hello,

It compiles with -p, but not with -pp.

I haven't notice that before, thanks. Main goal of my PR was to
support kernel build process with profiling enabled.  I think I
have to deal with it by excluding ndis from build with
WITHOUT_MODULES, which is acceptable for me.  If noone is going
to post additional comments and you agree, this PR can be
closed now.
