   It might work or it might not.  I don't know.  My theory is that
   profiling gdb is a maintainer thing, and if somebody uses
   --enable-profiling and it doesn't build, they had better know what
   they are doing anyway.  We can always add tests for functions later.
   I could add them now if it is important; it is easy enough to do.
   Ordinarily I'm zealous about portability, but in this case I don't
   think it matters that much.

If it's not going to work, or as cgf suggests, it won't be very
interesting, it's worth just having a note in the docs to that effect.
Internals manual only is sufficient.  Even a knowledgeable person,
using this for the first time, will be hard-pressed to know whether
the failure to build/run is a known limitation, or something wrong in
the setup.
