This is a bug in the FreeBSD/x86-64 GCC configuration. It should be calling ``.mcount'' instead of ``mcount'' (note the full-stop at the start of the name.) After applying this patch, rebuilding gcc, and rebuilding the profiled C library, gcc -pg does not cause linker errors: ==== //depot/user/tjr/freebsd-tjr/src/contrib/gcc/config/i386/freebsd64.h#5 - /home/tim/p4/src/contrib/gcc/config/i386/freebsd64.h ==== @@ -25,6 +25,9 @@ #undef TARGET_VERSION #define TARGET_VERSION fprintf (stderr, " (FreeBSD/x86-64 ELF)"); +#undef MCOUNT_NAME +#define MCOUNT_NAME ".mcount" + #undef FBSD_TARGET_CPU_CPP_BUILTINS #define FBSD_TARGET_CPU_CPP_BUILTINS() \ do \ However, programs compiled with -pg will crash almost immediately. I don't understand why this happens well enough to venture an explanation, but I think both GCC and FreeBSD/amd64's <machine/profile.h> header are at fault here. Tim
