If the gprof section of binutils is properly built and installed, it should
satisfy the mcount reference.
It's a bit strange to make a .o with -g -pg together, particularly when you
don't link with the same options.
FWIW, latest version of Intel VTune works with cygwin builds with -g3
-gdwarf-2 (and of course PATH considerations).

Thanks Larry and Tim,
I was not sure if -g was required as well, and tried all combinations.
May I ask if VTune works with non-MinGW compilations ?
I looked and was not clear.
I am reluctant to change my other ygwin installations, they are required for
other projects.
I have certainly had interaction in the past with Altera Cygwin package

I have certainly had problems in the past with the Altera Cygwin package and
the XMOS one interacting, but they seem to have sorted that.
