In any case, why are we running the test suite with Emacs compiled

bring us some useful data?  If not, simply building without profiling
might easily fix this problem.

​Nonetheless, it should be possible to run the test suite when building with --enable-profiling.

However, it's not obvious that profiling is of great interest for the programs in lib-src, so an option would be to change the build system so that --enable-profiling applies only to emacs itself. This would obviate potential similar problems testing other lib-src binaries in future.
