How do you mean "compiles"?  If you want the profiler to actually work
in the w32 build, additional code needs to be written, to replace
setitimer and the SIGPROF signal, which aren't supported on Windows.

If you only mean to exclude the HAVE_SETITIMER parts, then that's a
simpler job, but then sampling of the call stack will not work.  If
you want this part of Emacs 24.3, it would make sense to work on
implementing the alternative to setitimer and SIGPROF now.
