Overflows are a fact of life when it comes to gprof.  You want a fixed, high
interval, others want high precision.  If you want to avoid overflows, use a
lower HZ value.  Or even better: use a sane profiling method.  There is nothing
which can be done with gprof without breaking binary and tools compatibility.
