What cabal-install version did you use for this build and what 'build' 
method did you use, v1-build or v2-build?

The message could mean that you are building with profiling but some 
'primitive' was installed without profiling. With 'cabal v2-build' 
(new-build) there should not be a problem, because Cabal should simply 
build profiling objects when needed. However, for building the 
documentation you do not need profiling. But then again, profiling was 
just a guess.

It's best you show us your actual command-line and used Cabal version and 
the package (e.g. repository) that you try to upload.
