Comment(by simonmar):
See also #3252.
The initialisers aren't actually used unless we're profiling right now.
The other use for initialisers is to create `StablePtr`s for foreign
exports, and at the moment we use C++ constructors for that. Perhaps we
could also use constructors for the profiling intialisation; unfortunately
it would mean generating a separate C file and compiling it alongside
every Haskell file.
