Hi,
a version of ghc for cygwin32 that includes profiling libraries can be
found at
ftp://laysan.dcs.gla.ac.uk/fran/ghc-2.06-win32.tar.gz
(It says 2.06, but it's more or less 2.08(+) )
Mildly tested profiling bits, but -p known to work (i.e., I just tried
it on `hello, world' and it didn't break :-)
HTH,
--Sigbjorn
