It should just be sufficient to invoke configure with the 
--disable-deep-profiler option.  That way you don't need to disable the
other profiling grades.

I think this problem has been reported before but last time I couldn't
reproduce it.  On possibility is that it is an issue with gcc 4.1; try
building with gcc 3.4 (debian package gcc-3.4) and see if it goes away.

In the meantime I'll take a look at it with gcc 4.1

Cheers,
Julien.
