It is not clear from your message whether the problem occurs during
*linking* with -pg, or when you *run* the program thus linked.

If the latter is true, then you should know that stock DJGPP v2.01 has
a bug in its library which crashes programs linked with -pg.  (This
bug, and possible work-arounds, are explained in the DJGPP FAQ list,
section 13.2.)  You should get a patched mcount module, either from
Tom Demmer's site or from the DJGPP bug-tracking system
(http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/bugs/) and relink your program.
