I get strange results when profiling the following test program (among
others):

// Start of program.
#include <conio.h>

void t_func1(void)
{
    long i;
    for(i = 0; i < 100000000; i++);
}

void t_func2(void)
{
    long i;
    for(i = 0; i < 100000000; i++);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    t_func1();
    t_func2();
    return 0;
}
// End of program

The results I get (excerpt from the profiling output) are:

  %        cumulative   self        self      total
 time        seconds   seconds  calls    us/call
us/call           name
100.00        0.06        0.06    1        55555.56     55555.56
t_func1(void)
0.00            0.06        0.00    1        0.00
55555.56     main
0.00            0.06        0.00    1        0.00
0.00             t_func2(void)

I.e. t_func1(void) takes 100 % of the time, when it should take only
about 50 %.
I use the option "-pg" both for compiling and linking. My gprof and gcc
versions are both 2.8.1.
