I think profile mode should be the same as release mode but with -g added in, otherwise it's possible I'll waste time trying to optimize a hotspot in -O2 that doesn't exist in the -O3 build. Furthermore, this would make it simple for the fedora/debian/etc... builds to build with symbols -- they just choose profile mode and be done with it.
