    As for gprof stuff, have you seen Josef Wiedendorfer's Cachegrind patch

    It contains loads of that sort of thing, more than my brain can handle in
    one sitting :)

I looked at the screenshots and decided it is very pretty, but I haven't
actually tried it out yet.

I've actually done a first cut of a gprof skin now, which generates
correctly formed gprof gmon.out files.  Unfortunately gprof itself is
too broken to deal with them (it wants a single histogram array for the
whole address space; I'm teaching it to work with a sparse array).

I'm also going to extend the core slightly; I'd like to add some way of
extracting more information about the segments described in the SegInfo
list.  I'd like to be able to walk the list so I can include a table of
mapped shared objects and what address range they cover.
