I'm not very expert with gprof, but I tried it last fall and didn't
seem to have any problems.  I use Linux and GNAT.

Here are some notes I made at the time:


 o Comments in the source file for a jacket program, profile.adb, that
   I wrote to drive a GA "solver" for the profiling -

-- This is useful for testing for memory leaks in the solver:
--    gnatmake profile
--    gnatmem 5 ./profile
--
-- Also useful for optimizing the solver:
--    make profile
--    ./profile
--    gcov profile.adb
--    emacs profile.adb.gcov
--    n.b. -- you can also run gcov on files that profile.adb depends on.


 o A snippet from my Makefile -

# For use w/ the gcov profiler:
profile: realclean
        gnatmake -g profile                   \
        -cargs -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage \
        -bargs -C -largs -C


Hopefully that will be enough to get you started.

Good luck,
