Yeah, can you try Makefile (I think it should build libprofile_rt from
GCDAProfiling.c that you need). I'll see if I can add CMake support for
profile in compiler-rt any time soon.
However, looks like Clang driver won't be smart enough to link two archives
(lib/libprofile_rt.a and the one under lib/clang/3.3/linux/...), so we may
need to patch the driver as well.
