I think it's actually in the profiling initialisation code.  If
you try to run sample code under gdb, you can see that .mcount()
is not preserving %ecx, though main() assumes it does.

(gdb) disas $eip
Dump of assembler code for function main:
0x080481d0 <main+0>:    lea    0x4(%esp),%ecx

0x080481da <main+10>:   push   %ebp

0x080481e6 <main+22>:   mov    0x4(%ecx),%eax
