-profile is a standard gecko command line flag that let you switch
profiles, it's no b2g specific. If you don't specify it, you start with
a new profile under ~/.mozilla/b2g and it's very likely that nothing
good happens since you won't have any apps installed there.
About b2g vs b2g-bin. If you did your own build, forget about b2g-bin.
If you downloaded a prebuilt b2g, they come with gaia bundled and b2g is
a wrapper around b2g-bin to use the bundled gaia.
That being said, I still have no idea what's failing on your side :(
Here I can start with gaia-master and b2g-inbound, with a profile built
by a simple |make profile| in gaia.
