It is important to know that profiling is based on both adding special 
code to functions during compilation (influenced by CFLAGS), and use 
of a special startup-module for linking.  That means you should add 
-pg to LDFLAGS as well.  Profiling will be easiest to deal with in a 
static build (might be a firm requirement).  If adding -pg to LDFLAGS 
does not help, then it is quite possible that libtool itself has a 
bug.  Watch to make sure that libtool is supplying this option to the 
linker (or compiler if it is used as the linker).
