Oh, I just noticed that it's glibc itself you're trying to build with
profiling on.  You need to not do that, or at least not by the mechanism
you're trying to use.  If you really want to profile glibc itself then
there is an --enable-profile configure option which will do the right
thing.  Otherwise, you need to suppress the PROFILE_OPTIMIZATION when
building glibc.
