for you:
./libtool --mode=execute gprof ./foo

Now the answer to your question is to ask libtool to run gprof (or gdb)

Ah! That explains much.  Thank you.

I still get results that I don't understand.  This is the beginning of
what I get for profiling my executable:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Flat profile:

Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
 no time accumulated

  %   cumulative   self              self     total
 time   seconds   seconds    calls  Ts/call  Ts/call  name
  0.00      0.00     0.00    56133     0.00     0.00  data_start
  0.00      0.00     0.00       19     0.00     0.00
MG_sigma2_Theta_threaded
-----------------------------------------------------------------

There's a record of calls but not of times, and _nothing_ for the
library functions.  The library and this executable are all built
together in one big ./configure && make.

I don't know whether I need to do more than add -pg to the CFLAGS when

building the library or whether it's simply gprof I'm not using correctly.

Hmm you are right, I didn't notice during my test that I also had zeros.
Build a static version of your project and it'll work.

./configure --disable-shared
make clean all CFLAGS='-pg -all-static'

Cheers,
