George,

I can't fully figure out from your mail what your target environment is,
I'm guessing you want to use linux on the Xscale.

The cegcc project has support for -pg; but the target architecture for
the toolchain is Windows CE running on ARM. CeGCC is a cross-development
environment (develop on Linux or Windows, run on Windows CE on ARM).

If this is what you want, then just go get it at http://cegcc.sf.net .
If you want to run Linux on your Xscale, then maybe the cegcc sources
are a good starting point.
