Not at all off-topic :-)  There's a patch to Valgrind to do this.  Take
a look at Jeremy Fitzhardinge's vgprof stuff.  I'm not so sure how
up-to-date it is with respect to the current CVS head, but it worked
pretty well for me last time I tried it out.

This produces a gmon.out file that can be parsed by an updated version
of gprof (which Jeremy also provides.)

Regards,
 Robert.
