        <pre>Current ARM bpapi (Base Platform Application Binary Interface) no longer uses
"mcount" as function profiler name, instead it uses "__gnu_mcount_nc".

(Refer to trunk gcc - gcc/config/arm/bpapi.h ARM_FUNCTION_PROFILER.)

Also checking the system libc.so, __gnu_mcount_nc is properly defined.
Notwithstanding the fact that "_mcount" and "mcount" are defined in libc.so,
they are not the default-version symbol, to link against these symbols, a
version script file has to be provided to the linker, otherwise we get an
undefined symbol error.

May I suggest override this value in ARMTaretInfo as - 
 this->MCountName = "__gnu_mcount_nc";</pre>
