... not to mention the innards of the cairo library, and the libraries 
used by that, etc.  This Cairo stuff carries around _way_ more code than 
traditional gnuplot terminal drivers did.

You need to get the -pg into the LDFLAGS, too.  (And profiling without 
the usual -O2 would be a futile exercise...):

	make CFLAGS='-g -O2 -pg' CXXFLAGS='-g -pg'

(Ordinarily, the CFLAGS would be used in the link, too, but we use g++ 
to link, thus the CXXFLAGS).
