I think you are incorrect.  At the time I made the changes (it's a long time
ago), I made sure it was functionally equivalent to what happens on Linux
(at least that was the intention :)

Anyway:

ulysses:/tmp# gcc -v -profile  main.c
[...]
 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/cc1 /tmp/cckmOJdI.i \
 -p -quiet -dumpbase main.c -version -o /tmp/cc67Kisl.s
[...]
 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/collect2 -m elf_i386 \
 -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /usr/lib/gcrt1.o \
 /usr/lib/crti.o /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/crtbegin.o \
 -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4 /tmp/ccvFo8bW.o -lgcc \
 -lc_p -lgcc /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/crtend.o /usr/lib/crtn.o

As you can see, it has -p at compilation and -lc_p at linking.
I don't know where this rule comes from, it is not in the specs file.

If you add -profile -pg, you will get two -p's at compilation. Hehe.

Thanks,
Marcus
