/usr/lib/libc_p.a references the function fpgen().  /lib/libc.a does
not.  Thus the following when I compile a profiled program:

	% cat > test.c
	main()
	{
	printf("Hi.\n");
	}
	% cc -pg test.c -v
	/lib/cpp -D__STDC__ -D__HIGHC__ test.c /tmp/pp.000366
	/usr/lib/hc1com /tmp/pp.000366 -efile @E -silent -on CHAR_DEFAULT_UNSIGNED -off DOUBLE_MATH_ONLY -on DOUBLE_RETURN -on LONG_ENUMS -off PCC -on PCC_MSGS -ofile /tmp/IL1000366 -vfile /tmp/var000366 -machine rtfl -define ibm032 1 -pro hc.pro -copyr -dir /usr/include

	/bin/as -o test.o -V /tmp/S000366
	/bin/ld -X /usr/lib/gcrt0.o test.o -lfp_p -lc_p
	Undefined:
	_.fpgen
	_fpgen


I do not know if this will be fixed by a recompilation of the library,
or is a result of the rearrangement of floating point code done
between 6.3 and 6.4.  Changing the ld command in the above compilation
to

	/bin/ld -X /usr/lib/gcrt0.o test.o -lc_p -lfp_p -lc_p

fixes it.

As it is impossible to build a profiled program without this bit of
knowledge, this is a serious bug.
