I'm sorry I (speaking as the SGI "owner" of kernprof) didn't respond
right away, but I didn't have anything useful to say.
I still don't know if my gcc 2.95.3 experience is lengthy enough, or
varied enough, to provide much more than a single point of positive
information. I have no personal experience with uniprocessor kernels on
UP hardware, nor do I have a clear "Aha!" understanding about what got
fixed, if anything, between 2.95.2 and 2.95.3 insofar as the
kernprof-profiling problems are concerned. All I can say is that I
observe is that my SMP 2.4.2 kernel, built by 2.95.3 (with the kernprof
patch), does seem to boot and to run acg profiling on a 2-CPU HP Kayak
(Pentium-II).
