ECL is indeed called more than once, so gmon.out gets effectively
overwritten.  But
that is a limitation of gprof (and sprof) itself, not related to the fact that
the 'ecl' is linked statically of not.

I do not think that the suggestion is equivalent to --disable-shared.
The reason is that we still want to be able to dynamically load FASLs.
I was under the impression that once build with --disable-shared, one can't
do that.  The suggestion I made was that when ECL builds a standalone
program it should link statically.
