Buidling profiled fails

Actually this is 64-bit Linux.

However I found that my build.mk might have been an old one, since it's hand-written. I'll try again, starting from build.mk.sample.

| Well, depending on ./configure is reasonable, but I'm not sure how to
| easily make it work around these checks just for the 'show' target.
| 
| Hm, what platform is this, Win64? (I need to get a win64 test env up.)
| You might possibly have an out of date mk/build.mk file, but if this
| is a recent checkout then I doubt it. Otherwise there might be a
| glitch in the build system that things you can support dynamic ghc,
| but not shared libraries.
| 
| You should be able to turn this off in the mean time. You can put:
| 
| DYNAMIC_BY_DEFAULT=NO
| DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS=NO
| 
| in mk/build.mk, anywhere above this line:
| 
| ------
| GhcLibWays = $(if $(filter $(DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS),YES),v dyn,v)
| ------
| 
| I really need to double back on and look over all the shared library
| stuff this week.
