profiling under OSR5

I remember dancing around with this before 5.0.0 was released 
and punting on it completely at the time.  

There are two forms of profiling, block profiling and timer slice
profiling.   I think each of these is available in GNU-based and 
native-based tools (gprof/prof, lprof).   There wasn't any real
amount of rocket science in the target-specific end of the compiler 
itself, as I recall it was just going through the drudgery of 
getting the right startups, teardowns, and options passed around.
I had bigger fish to skin. (Or some cliche like that. :-)   Now that
we finally have something out the door that works pretty well, I will
more readily entertain working on stuff like this.

Tell us what you want, what you've tried, and what you've got and
I'm sure we can help make something work.
