With a new version of gcrtl.o, I can now compiled the application now.
Thanx for pointing out it.

In general profiling requires library support. gcc will do its best
to set up the profiling call, but if you don't have the right support
in the library and the OS it will fail. In particular the gcrt1.o
file did not come from gcc. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
