I had an idea along the following lines:

#define ProfilingLabel(l) \
  __asm__ volatile (".section labels\n\t" \
                    ".long " #l ", 1f\n\t" \
                    ".text\n1:")

As a result, label/address pairs accumulate in the "labels" section.
I couldn't find I good way to derive the size of that section, though.
Using debugging information, or some postprocessor on the generated
assembler code might be preferable.
