gmon.out not generated

[Khem Raj]

Couple of things, what is the version of glibc on your target is it same 
as the one you compiled your toolchain with.

is the kernel version same of the kernel headers you compiled your 
toolchain against and of that you are running on

and may be you can check if you have *_p versions of libraries.
