https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=175841285e289edebb6603da39f02549521ce950 says the following (later), but first I quote the part tbat dirves the interpretation:
QUOTE Clang's -pg support and mcount() remain, so building with -pg can still be used on code that the user builds; we just do not provide prebuilt libraries compiled with -pg. END QUOTE No WITH_PROFILE options means no "prebuilt libraries compiled with -pg".

Both upstream and base system (in commit b762974cf4b9) Clang have been modified to remove the special case for linking against these libraries. Clang's -pg support and mcount() remain, so building with -pg can still be used on code that the user builds; we just do not provide prebuilt libraries compiled with -pg. A similar change is still needed for GCC.
