These particular entry-points cannot be profiled because they are designed
to run entirely in the trap window. A call to `mcount' would ruin that.
That is why I used _ENTRY(), but I just forgot to apply it to a
`_C_LABEL()'ed identifier. I corrected it yesterday.
Anyway, with those changes in place, a kernel and boot programs will build
in both a.out and elf environments.
