Ohh, that makes it harder to support you, but I'll try anyway.

I've never used either oprofile or gprof on uclibc, so I wouldn't
know.

You are aware that we have an oprofile package in buildroot these

    add oprofile

    git-svn-id: svn+ssh://uclibc.org/svn/trunk/buildroot at 21847

You could try backporting that to your version.
