gcc 3.3.x and profile

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

Hi,

I started hacking on gcc to support profiling a few days ago, and here
is a small status update (just so that we don't get duplicate work
around here), including a patch for any brave souls that want to play
with it (it's against the gcc-3_3-branch from the GCC CVS).

Simple programs like say showtrans, show a interesting call graph, but
things that could be more interesting to analyze like ids just go
bonkers and hang.  Havn't been able to figure out why since I can't
attach GDB to it.  I haven't tested it on much more at this time...

The changes to the header files that are used to create the specs file
are cannibalised from Marcus' specs file hack he did for gcc 3.0.  In
theory you could edit your specs file and get away without recompiling
gcc, I haven't tried this.
