gprofng UCRT64

[Barrett Kauling]

I got both binutils-gdb and MSYS2-package/binutils to build and both came up empty.
$ tar -tvf *.zst | grep gprofng

I need help with autotools and getting the gprofng makefile to build, I ran `autoreconf -fi` which I understand runs `aclocal`, `autoconf`, and `automake`. I don't know if I need to find the problem within running autotools or the specific way the directory was configured using aclocal.

Modifying the PKGBUILD was unsuccessful in MSYS2.

I'd like to build gprofng on Windows

`SUBDIRS= gprofng` is missing in Makefile.am after `configure --enable-gprofng`

In msys2/ucrt64
MINGW64_NT-10.0-19045 ##### 3.6.5-0eeda3e1.x86_64 2025-10-10 x86_64 Msys

There is this GitHub repository

[MSYS2-packages.png]<https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages.git>
msys2/MSYS2-packages: Package scripts for Cygwin targets to build under MSYS2.<https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages.git>
github.com<https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages.git>

Which has this a binutils directory.  In there you’ll see a PKGBUILD script.  You can run makepkg-mingw in this subdirectory.  You might have to change the configure script invocation to build it with gprofng.  Also of note, you will need tk install the appropriate UCRT64 tool chain.
