It turns out you can't use -pg and -fomit-frame-pointers at the same time.
At least, my gcc complains about this:
$ make
arm-sony-linux-gnueabi-dev-gcc -g -pg -fomit-frame-pointer -o hello hello.c
arm-sony-linux-gnueabi-dev-gcc: -pg and -fomit-frame-pointer are incompatible
make: *** [hello] Error 1
