I have gprof for Cygwin at:
  
  ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin/ports/

You do as you normally would:
  
  $ gcc -pg -c foo.c
  $ gcc -pg -o foo foo.o
  $ ./foo
  $ gprof foo.exe

There are some limitations, but overall it works for C. There're problems
with C++ code (you'll probably get linker errors from multiple template
instances and so on), and you have to play a small trick with g77.

Regards,
Mumit
