The problems I described in earlier emails occurred when I compiled with mingw32 libs.
I now compile the same source code with mingw64 libs and it works. Evidently dependency walker will not profile an app that has mixed 32-bit and 64-bit libs, which my original one had. Now that everything is in 64-bit, it will profile. This doesn't explain fully what is broken in 32-bit land, but it is forward progress. Thanks Oscar.
