It seems that gprof is not build any longer by default.

"/usr/src/usr.bin/gprof" does not contain the files amd64.{c,h} 

needed to build gprof. Since the files for the other architectures
seem to be essentially the same I just used copies of these to build
gprof. But since I cannot produce *.gmon files as long as gcc -pg
does not work I cannot check if the resulting binary works or not.

Are there amd64 specific problems with gprof or is gprof being replaced
by some other profiler?
