There was a posting about this several days ago but I've not seen a
response to it.  I'm having the same problem on our Sun4 system.  In
brief then, here is the repeat.

When I compile with the -pg switch to do profiling, the linker issues
the following error about mcount not being defined.  The line numbers
in each error correspond to entry points into my functions.

>>gcc -c -g -pg -Wall -DDEBUG  -target sun4 -c cancer.c
>>cancer.c:53 (cancer.o): Undefined symbol mcount referenced from text
segment
... etc ...

Is this an installation problem or a bug?  Does my archaic v1.4 have
anything to do with it?
