I've never tried profiling but remember from looking at the source of
glibc 2.0.6 that there were rather obvious bugs.  Also you shouldn't
assume that anybody of the core developers has interest in wasting any
work into 2.0.6 since 2.2 is so much better so you may want to upgrade
anyway.

The other issue is of course gprof ...
