Subject: bug#3707: add a configure option to enable profiling
Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2009 14:43:41 -0700 (PDT)

Building emacs with profiling support is not very straight forward at
the moment.
It would be better if we had a configure option to do it:

./configure --enable-profiling
make

Adding the configure flag can be done like this:

--- configure.in.~1.600.~       2009-06-26 18:46:22.000000000 -0700
+++ configure.in                2009-06-28 06:00:37.000000000 -0700

How can PROFILING_CFLAGS and PROFILING_LDFLAGS be added to the default
CFLAGS in the Makefile to enable "make" to just DTRT?
