[PATCH V4] gprofng: a new GNU profiler

Hi Vladimir,

OK, so using those sources, I built a set of the binutils binaries
without any special configuration options, ie:

   configure -- quiet

and then I built gprofng and the other binutils tools.  This worked
OK, but when I tried to run the gprofng testsuite only a few tests
appeared to run:

   Running gprofng/testsuite/gprofng.display/display.exp ...
   ERROR: compilation of test program in jsynprog failed

		=== gprofng Summary ===

   # of expected passes		14
   # of unresolved testcases	1

Which does not look right.  But then I remembered that I needed to
enable shared builds, so I tried:

   configure --quiet --enable-shared

and this produced even worse test results:

   Running gprofng/testsuite/gprofng.display/display.exp ...
   ERROR: compilation of test program in jsynprog failed
   ERROR: compilation of test program in mttest failed
   ERROR: compilation of test program in mttest failed
   ERROR: compilation of test program in mttest failed
   ERROR: compilation of test program in mttest failed
   ERROR: compilation of test program in mttest failed
   ERROR: compilation of test program in mttest failed
   ERROR: compilation of test program in mttest failed
   ERROR: compilation of test program in synprog failed
   ERROR: compilation of test program in synprog failed
   ERROR: compilation of test program in synprog failed
   ERROR: compilation of test program in synprog failed
   ERROR: compilation of test program in synprog failed
   ERROR: compilation of test program in synprog failed
   ERROR: compilation of test program in synprog failed

		=== gprofng Summary ===

   # of unresolved testcases	15

The jsynprog and synprog failures is probably expected, since I do not
have the JDK installed, but the mttest compilation fails because I am
not testing an installed version of gprofng:

   /dev/shm/delme/gprofng/gprofng/tmpdir/root/usr/local/bin/gprofng: error while loading shared libraries: libgprofng.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory


It would be really nice if I could test a built-but-not-installed
version of the sources....

Cheers
