Not seeing a configure option for this (e.g., --without-gprof), I just
deleted the gprof portion of the source tree and ran configure again.
This time it apparently completed, so I ran make, which also, to my
great surprise, completed successfully.  However, I'm looking for the
"configtool" program, referenced in the documentation, but under
host/tools/configtool, only ecosconfig is being built.  Is this
adequate?  Has configtool disappeared since the 2.0 release?  Or am I
doing something wrong?

Also, RedBoot is not being built.  In fact, hardly anything is being
built.  After a "make && make install", these 12 files are the only
things installed:

bin/ecosconfig
lib/libcyginfra.a
lib/libcdl.a
include/cyg/hal/basetype.h
include/cyg/infra/testcase.h
include/cyg/infra/cyg_trac.h
include/cyg/infra/cyg_type.h
include/cyg/infra/cyg_ass.h
include/pkgconf/hostinfra.h
include/pkgconf/infra.h
include/cdl.hxx
include/cdlcore.hxx

So, how am I supposed to be doing this?  I've found no README or any
docs for building from source, so I'm sort of flying blind here.

The FAQ page is broken, by the way.  It returns a 403 Forbidden error.
