Thanks for the tip. 

Also in this thread I was introduced to
http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/binutils-2.8/gprof_toc.html

which is even more detailed.

I'm still not successful at producing a gmon.out file- I think this
has something to do with my RHIDE setup separating the compile and
link in a way such that I don't actually link with any reference to
the needed special output-file option. I'll probably solve this
tommorow when I have a 1/2 hour or so to check.

Thanks to everyone for this great thread- has helped a lot. BTW,
Brennan's page has an excellent section on optimization which I had
missed in the past.
