Hello

	I am working in C++ using g++ (ver. 1.39.0) on sun4 and sun3.
	I'm trying to 'prof' and  'gprof' on my program, since it is
	quite large (25K lines). The compiler documentation (g++.texinfo
	updated 1.37) state that the -p and -pg options are not supported
	yet. I have noticed though, that when compiling with -p the
	compiler generate calls to 'mcount' at the right locations.

	The problem is that when I run the program, no profiling happens.
	I guess this has to do with  the startup module (crt1+.o ?) of g++.

	Do you know of any way of solving this ? or any way of profiling
	C++ programs ?
	
		Thanks in advance
