profiling usage of libc   
I want to  analize libc usage of a certain binary,
but I can't find an instrumented libc.so.
so is there any other way than writing a LD_PRELOAD libc wrapper to get the -finstrument-functions in libc?

TIA

Re: profiling usage of libc   
You could compile libc with -finstrument-functions, but you might have to be careful that any functions that 
libprofiling uses don't cause a recursive loop-o-death!

Isn't it just avoiding passing those compile options to the lib/c/prof
section of the code?

Re: AW: profiling usage of libc   
PR37662 tracks the fact that this would be "nice to do".

So many nice things to do, why must people load me up with "must do" PRs instead! ;-)

Re: profiling usage of libc   
Compiling whole libc with  -finstrument-functions would definitely cause 
problems but if you are interested in specific function, you can try to 
do it yourself
by checking out libc from svn and changing makefile flags to compile 
SPECIFIC files
with this option.
