    Still doesn't work with pkg_install, unless I'm doing something 
incorrectly. Says something like '{blah} not in executable format' when 
I try and execute gprof as follows:

gprof pkg_info.gmon

    I think I chased this problem down to an inconsistency with GNU 
binutils before, but please note that I haven't had an opportunity to 
update my system for ~2 months (don't have direct access to the 
Internet; have to traffic files back and forth via my iBook and I've 
been busy lately with other things..).
    So I'm running 8-CURRENT, updated as of sometime 3rd week of October..
    Also, depending on what you're trying to compile for profiling 
purposes, you will have to recompile all dependent libraries, not just 
libc. I had to recompile libfetch and libarchive for pkg_install, 
otherwise stuff segfaulted and coredumped every time I ran the profiled 
apps.
Thanks,
