[Patch]: Fix crash in gprof (SunOS 5.8 only)

Hi Tristan,

> Ok for trunk ?

Approved - please apply.


> PS: should we drop tahoe ?

Not really apropos the email's topic, but I think that we could 
reasonably add tahoe to the list of obsolete targets and see if anyone 
complains.


> PPS: should we drop '-c' ?  It is supported by very few architectures (i386, alpha, tax, sparc, tahoe and mips) and looks broken at least on i386.

The -c option to gprof, I assume you mean ?  Hmm, not sure. Is it the 
case that the heuristic(s) involved just need updating, or is the 
concept itself flawed ?

Cheers
