config/i386/x86-64.h defines CC1_SPEC to handle the -profile option.
This option (link with a profiling version of libc) is OS-specific so
should not be in such an OS-independent spec.

The affected targets (those using this definition) are: x86_64-*-elf*,
x86_64-*-freebsd*, x86_64-*-netbsd*, i[34567]86-*-linux*
--enable-targets=all, x86_64-*-linux* | x86_64-*-kfreebsd*-gnu |
x86_64-*-knetbsd*-gnu, i[34567]86-*-solaris2*.  Of these, only the
GNU-userspace targets and FreeBSD generally have any specs handling
-profile, and so only for those targets have I added it to .opt
files.  This patch removes the problem CC1_SPEC definition, adding
definitions to i386/freebsd64.h and i386/linux64.h to cover the subset
of affected targets where this definition is actually appropriate.

Bootstrapped with no regressions on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.  Also
tested building cc1 and xgcc for crosses to: x86_64-elf
x86_64-freebsd8 x86_64-netbsd i686-pc-linux-gnu (--enable-targets=all)
x86_64-kfreebsd-gnu x86_64-knetbsd-gnu i686-solaris2.10.  OK to
commit?

A general note on profiling options and their effects:

There are three options for gprof-style function profiling (as opposed
to basic block profiling): -p (profiling with prof), -pg (profiling
with gprof), -profile (profiling with gprof, and link with a profiling
version of libc so that libc functions get profiled as well).  The
last option is undocumented and OS-specific (for GNU userspace and
FreeBSD targets).

The only option known to cc1 is -p; the differences between the three
options are only around linking except insofar as other specs
distinguish between them.  -pg is unconditionally mapped to -p for cc1
(gcc.c:cc1_options); -profile relies on CC1_SPEC for compile-time
effect (meaning that even for targets where it is nominally supported
there may well be inconsistency depending on what's in CC1_SPEC).
Many specs handle -p and -pg identically; I don't know what targets
relevant to current GCC actually have "prof" so that handling them

Ok.

Patch

differently makes sense, but surely not most of them.

Whether -profile really makes sense for FreeBSD, or whether -profile
specs for FreeBSD should be removed, seems unclear.  I added it to
freebsd.opt on the basis of freebsd-spec.h:FBSD_STARTFILE_SPEC;
FBSD_LIB_SPEC doesn't handle it, but links with -lc_p unconditionally
for -pg.  I don't know what's in -lc_p on FreeBSD (whether it's just
profiling support code, or whether as with glibc it has profiling
enabled for all the libc functions).

cp/g++spec.c and go/gospec.c know about linking with different
versions of certain libraries (in particular libm) for profiling on
certain targets; for that driver code, profiling means -p or -pg and
-profile is unknown.

(I do not have specific recommendations for cleaning things up in this
area.)
