I think that the tsearch functions must be the stuff charged as
"data_start" (which is not actually any symbol in our source code).
That is showing as being called by FunctionCallN which is what you'd
expect.

If the totals given by gprof are correct, then it's down in the noise.
I don't think I trust that too much ... but I don't see anything in the
gprof manual about how to include a dynamically loaded library in the
profile. (I did compile tsearch2 with -pg, but that's evidently not
enough.)

I'll see if I can link tsearch2 statically to resolve this question.
