The pmax does profiling strictly as a link-time option; no call counts
are recorded. This means that libfoo.a and libfoo_p.a are going to be
identical, unless the C code uses some sort of "#ifdef profiling"
hack. In most cases, the "profiling" versions of these libraries are
therefore unnecessary. (The 7.2 version of Zephyr will not include
libzephyr_p.a on the pmax.)
We might consider providing ucode libraries (lib*.b) for some software
like X; the compiler's -O3 option can do global optimization if they
are provided.
