-fprofile-arcs on gcc version 3.3.2

[Arun Patnaik <arupat at sybase dot com>]

Hi,

I am trying to use the -fprofile-arcs option with GCC 3.3.2. The compilation is 
successful however when I try to run the program to execute the training set,
it fails to generate the *.da files.

The reason being that it is trying to generate the files in an incorrect location. 


I compiled as follows:

current directory is:   /p/c

gcc ... -c -o /p/c/myprog1.o myprog1.c
gcc ... -c -o /p/c/myprog2.o myprog2.c
gcc ... -o /p/c/myprog myprog.c /p/c/myprog1.o /p/c/myprog2.o

When I run it tries to create the .da files as /p/c//p/c/myprog1.da
and obviously that fails.


This looks like a bug to me. Has anyone seen this problem ? Is there a
work around available ? 

Also is there anyway I can direct gcc to put all the .da files in a 
user specified directory.


Thanks
- Arun
