+ Profiling
+ ---------
+ 
+ If you want C profiling turned on, the easiest way is to run configure
+ with the CC environment variable to the necessary compiler
+ invocation.  For example, on Linux, this works for profiling using
+ gprof(1):
+ 
+     CC="gcc -pg" ./configure
+ 
+ Note that on Linux, gprof apparently does not work for shared
+ libraries.  The Makefile/Setup mechanism can be used to compile and
+ link most extension module statically.
+
