Try this:

1. Download the sources for binutils.  Even though you do not want all 
of them there is no standalone gprof tarball available.  It should not 
matter that you have a few extra source directories lying around.

2. Unpack the tarball, create a build directory, and run the configure 
script with the target you have in mind.  e.g.:

  % tar xf binutils.tar.bz2
  % mkdir build
  % cd build
  % ../configure --target=arm-elf

3. Now just build the gprof part of the binutils:

  % make all-gprof

4. If you want gprof installed then run:

  % make install-gprof

Cheers
