Hi again.

I couldn't wait for Garrett :) so I went on and tested your patch and
gprof seems to work fine for me (at least for the executables I was
interested in profiling anyway). This is i386 on a 7.0-BETA3 kernel and
7.0-BETA1 world. What are the chances for this to be committed in time
for 7.0R?

Thanks.
