there is no workaround.
using the -pg option of gcc emits code that assumes helper functionality
and special startup code provided by glibc.
as those startup functions need to be written in assembly, no one felt
the urge to implement them for musl yet.
especially since the "perf" tool (part of the kernel source or
distributed as a package in your distro) provides a much better
profiling facility that works with all existing binaries.
