Hi Canonical,

Do you have any concern regarding the patch proposed in the bug description?

Thanks

IBM reports that this bug is already fixed in vivid. Opening SRU tasks.

I have checked that on vivid the simple program works:
#include <stdio.h>
main() {
printf("test");
}
$ gcc -gp -o tests tests.c
$ ./tests
test
$ ls gmon.out
gmon.out

when on utopic I get:
$ ./tests
monstartup: out of memory
test
$ ls gmon.out
ls: cannot access gmon.out: No such file or directory

So problem is fixed under vivid, but the patch needs to added to utopic release

On trusty
$ gcc -pg tests.c
ubuntu@fauck3:~$ ./a.out
monstartup: out of memory
tests
ubuntu@fauck3:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS"

Problem is fixed on vivid with:
$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 4.9.2-10ubuntu1) 4.9.2

On utopic, not fixed with:
$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 4.9.1-16ubuntu6) 4.9.1

The targeted release for this LP# being 14.04.2, I am not quite sure the status of Fix Release (true status for Vivid) is appropriate. Let me know how to handle the case for trusty/utopic.

The task that's marked as "fix released" is the one corresponding to the current development release (vivid). There is an SRU task open for fixing in trusty.

When will the patch become part of Trusty? It's annoying not to be able to profile in an LTS-version...
