> Created attachment 24631 [details]
> Patch to increase max num edges in profile call graph under Solaris.
>
> The Solaris implementation of profiling (-pg option) links in a
> special gmon.o file that defines the mcount() routine, and related
> functions. (On Solaris, mcount() does not reside in libc.so, so
> GCC must provide its own implementation.)
>
> This implementation of mcount() creates linked lists of nodes
> using an "unsigned short" as the link field to the next node.
> This places a hard limit of 65533 edges in the call graph of any
> program that is profiled -- a limitation that is easily exceeded
> by modern programs.
>
> The attached patch (made to the gcc-4.6.1 distribution) replaces
> the pertinent "unsigned short" fields with "unsigned int", and
> eliminates the upper bound when dynamically allocating the
> "tos" table. This enables profiling of large programs under
> Solaris.

Could you update your patch to a more recent version of gcc and then send it to
the gcc-patches mailing list please?
