Thanks. The changes are in the current tree.

There's more to profiling shared libraries then just altering the macros.
The fact that the library uses PIC code is the lesser problem. It's more
difficult to get useful profiling results in the sparse address space
created by the current shared library implementation. I intend to look
at this later.
