Profiling uses the profil(2/3) utility here. It is not a system call on Linux, so behaviour with regard to system calls might be surprising (actually, it is a system call, but that does not work). Instead, it is a C library function implemented with standard system calls (see glibc sources for details).
If you think this should change, please report that to the Linux and/or glibc maintainers.
Regards, Martin
