Working on profiling at the moment: I eventually gave up on
oprofile; the kernel module is no problem, but the userland
tools were asking for bash2, which I was not prepared to
*also* cross-compile (because it didn't out of the box, and
it I was drifting further and further from my target.)

I'm starting to get good results with FunctionCheck:
http://www710.univ-lyon1.fr/~yperret/fnccheck/profiler.html
which IMO supplants Gprof as it supports both threads and
forks.

HTH,
