The original proposal contained an analysis of gperftools as an immediate replacement through pkgsrc (it requires Perl). And while there, there was a process of analysis of the compiler-rt profile [coverage] feature during GSoC (while porting libFuzzer, we were researching whether we need it at that point - but the conclusion was that it's not required for fuzzing).
