1.) use oprofile... install the -dbg packages on the device... install
oprofile itself... start sampling with opcontrol --start -p library -c 7 or
such.. then stop... use opreport -l to look...

2.) if you want to have backtraces... recompile with -fno-omit-frame-pointer
as I have mentioned...

3.) if you do not want sampling based profiling, yes use gprof... enable it
for the libs and apps you want... using bitbake -e you should be able to
figure out how bitbake selects the variables...
