Can lmdb library linked C code be profiled?

I've discovered that C source code only seems to be able to be profiled by
gprof profiled with gcc (or egcc from gcc package) and with the "-static"
flag to static link the program. But statically linked code which uses lmdb
with lmdb.a from the lmdb package will throw compile-time errors. Is there
a way?--
