The Makefile in your gprof build directory should contain a rule to 
translate this flat_bl.m file into a flat_bl.c file, which is then 
compiled as normal.  For some unknown reason it would appear that this 
.m to .c translation step is not taking place.  Perhaps it has something 
to do with the version of make that you are using ?
