	A useful trick is the following shell script:
-------8<--- cut here and save as findo --------------
#! /bin/csh -f
foreach f(*.o)
	set g = `nm $f | grep $1`
	if ( "x$g" != "x") then
		echo $f :\t $g
	else
		echo $f 
	endif
end
-------8<--- cut here and save as findo --------------

cd to your build directory and type 
% findo mcount 		
and it will tell you which .o references mcount. You need only delete that
.o (or examine it to see what inline/weird stuff it brought in)
