Add -Wl,-v to the linking flags, and maybe some other 'ld' options to
make ld talk about what it's doing.

For a short-term solution, you may want to try -pg instead of
-profile.  -profile tries to use profiling versions of libc and libm
--- those have a higher likelihood of being broken than the stock
versions.
