Profiling
---------
If you want C profiling turned on, the easiest way is to run configure
with the CC environment variable to the necessary compiler
invocation. For example, on Linux, this works for profiling using

libraries. The Makefile/Setup mechanism can be used to compile and
link most extension module statically.
