Then I ask: if I have a compiled version of a Haskell binding/API/(something
like that), without the profiling options, will I have to hack the source
code of this binding/API/(something like that) and compile it again to
enable profiling, even though I want to profile a part of a program that
doesn't make any call to the binding/API/(something like that) functions?
