I agree with Simon here. It's a similar scenario like heaptrc. Why not to
add a compiler parameter to include profiling info? That would be just
great.


It's not the same scenario as heaptrc is entirely working in the RTL
without any compiler extension (aside from the -gh parameter). Profiling
code however would require extensions to the compiler whereby it would also
need to handle exceptions correctly and such things.
