I have the following problem:
When I compile my C-program ( 30 files, 15000 lines of code ) on our
hp9000/835 with the option -G, to create a profiling program, the 
resulting profiles are all wrong. There are about 10 functions, that
are only profiled with the time spend in it, but not with the number of
calls to it. Therefore they appear to be "<spontaneous>" in the second
part of the profile.
Of these functions, the functions '_mcount', 'sqrt', '$$mulI', '$$mulU' and
'cvt' are not mine. (I suppose they are library/basic? functions.)
Other library functions are profiled as should be. Different options, like
'cc -g -G' and 'cc -G -p' give the same result, and the same functions
are wrong in all calls.

Is there anybody in Netland with the problems, or with a solution ?
Please mail to: pim@ele.tue.nl (or ..mcvax!euteal!pim).
If necessary, I will post a summary of the answers.
