That's the first part of it, yes. It's the patch I wanted to send to the
egcs team, only to find out that someone else had sent it in just 12 hours
before me --- a strange coincidence, taking into account that the bug has
been present ever since gcc-2.8.0 or so.

To make use of gprof --line, the -a profiling has to be stored in a binary
file, instead of the human-readable one usually generated by gcc. This
requires a change in the '#ifdef L_bb' part of libgcc2.c.
