I wrote a tool called "vgprof", which produced gprof-compatible(ish)
output. Unfortunately it has sadly aged. I've made a start as
resurrecting it, but it isn't there yet. One of the problems is that
the gprof file format is pretty broken, and its unclear that it is the
best to use; oprofile might be a better bet.
