I'm not sure if this is what you want: http://www.gnu.org/manual/gprof/

As far as I know, the GNAT compilor support this too.

in the chapter �Using Other Utility Programs With GNAT� in the GNAT User
Guide it says:

  [...]

  In general, any utility program that works with C will also often
  work with Ada programs generated by GNAT. This includes software
  utilities such as gprof (a profiling program), gdb (the FSF debugger),
  and utilities such as Purify.Using Other Utility Programs With GNAT

and in �The Big Online Book of Linux Ada Programming� an example is given
