We haven't had much luck finding anything. I had some success with
FunctionCheck:

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/fnccheck/

That almost worked, except that it failed to figure out the names of
standard library functions. Since it turned out that a lot of the time
in the thing I was profiling went into functions like strcmp(), it was
not especially useful. The output told me that a lot of time was being
spent in a particular function, but it couldn't tell me what the
function was. In the end, Quantify on Solaris told me what I wanted to
know.

Cheers,

Duncan.
