I am interested in improving the profiler program in the gcc 1.40. I used
TAGS file to find where is the word "profile" mentioned. It is in the "final.c"
subroutine: profile_function(file) which calls the function: 
FUNCTION_PROFILER(file,profile_label-no) which also calls a function called
mcount(). The problem is that I did not find mcount() source code.

	Please if you have any helpfull information, email me on my e-mail 
address.
	Thank you for helping. A.
