If you build profiled libraries, you wind up with a bunch of lib*_p.a
libraries in the lib directories. Those are the lib*.a files built
with profiling. If you build a program with profiling enabled, you get
those instead of the standard ones.

If you turn it off in /etc/make.conf, you should probably delete the
profiled libraries you have, to avoid getting using out of data
libraries if you ever build something with profiling turned on.
