How do you profile an executable that loads shared libraries?

I have an executable that loads shared libraries. I compiled with "-g
-pg" and then I ran gprof on the gmon.out file. I don't see any of the
shared libraries that the program loaded in my gprof output. How do
you profile shared libraries?

Also, I saw on the ld.so man page the LD_PROFILE variable but I found
information on the net that says variable should not be used when
using -pg.

Can someone help me out? I can't find information *anywhere* on
profiling shared libraries using gprof or the LD_PROFILE variable.
