 > /usr/bin/gprof is included in OS X but it's probably BSD gprof not GNU
 gprof.

 > GNU gprof is part of binutils, isn't it? We have a binutils port, but it
 doesn't install gprof; I don't know why. Maybe GNU gprof is not compatible
 with OS X. Or maybe gprof is not installed by default, but could be, by
 some means. If you can figure out what those means are, let us know.


 Yes, gprof is part of binutils. It is not installed in /usr/bin/gprof/on
 my machine?!?

 There are some problems, e.g. with g++/gcc-mp-4.8/2.9 the flag -pg does
 not work.....  see: [https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2012/09/14/mac/]

 If there is a compiler which handles the flag "-pg" and therefore produces
 "gmon.out" I could test gprof. First question would be which compiler
 implementation can handle the relevant flag "-pg"!?! Or am I on the wrong
 track?
