Thanks. Googling for %cflags_profile_generate (something OpenSUSE uses
in spec files using PGO) reveals that at least bash, openssl, gawk
use PGO in their distro, guess e.g. grep, sed or even rpm would be
other useful packages for start.
Say for bash it is a matter of doing
make CFLAGS="%{optflags} -fprofile-generate" all
make ... check
make CFLAGS="%{optflags} -fprofile-use" all
(for some packages might require some minor makefile changes or something
similar).
