I'm trying to profile https://github.com/nih-at/ckmame/ on NetBSD 9.99.92/amd64.
I do:
pkgin in libzip
git clone https://github.com/nih-at/ckmame.git
cd ckmame
mkdir build
cd build
CFLAGS=-pg CXXFLAGS=-pg cmake ..
make
The build breaks when a binary that is built is run to generate test data.

-pg still works for me on C programs and a minimal "int main()[]" c++
program. Am I doing something wrong here or is there a bug in the
toolchain?
Perhaps there are better ways to profile programs nowadays, let me
know too.
