Ah, it's a C++ library dynamically linked against libstdc++.

sprof: failed to load shared object `libAiksaurus.so'

Indeed it looks like it fails to find e.g. cerr :

moz moz 843 LD_DEBUG=all sprof libAiksaurus.so 2>&1 | grep binding | grep cerr
moz moz 844

then,

moz moz 854 LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 sprof libAiksaurus.so /var/tmp/libAiksaurus.so.0.profile

is successful !

Thanks Daniel (*again*).

john

p.s. I am correct in believing there is no documentation for sprof right ?
