           Summary: Profiled programs crash if PROFDIR is set on Solaris 8
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.3
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: target
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: sean dot johnston at xenicom dot com
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org

Programs compiled with profiling (-pg) will crash on termination and not write 
any output profile data. This occurs when the environment variable PROFDIR is 
set.

This bug appears to have been spotted and a patch provided some time ago, 
however the patch does not appear to be present in the 3.3 source tree. Here is 
a URL for the original patch which also contains a better description of the 
issue than I can manage:
