That's to be expected, because unfortunately, profiling is not a "transparent" operation; you have to compile things differently and certain features don't work.
You might have better luck doing a slow test run, with WAY=prof (there are actually a number of other cases too, such as prof_hc_hb, etc, see testsuite/config/ghc) Edward Excerpts from Jan Stolarek's message of Thu Sep 19 02:30:53 -0700 2013: > I need to run testsuite with profiling turned on.
