This is probably a dumb question, but what are 'profile libraries'?
There is the option to use either -NO_PROFILE while building a port, or
putting it in the make.conf file as NO_PROFILE= true, so I assume it
does something. If these libraries are not required, why are they built
by default anyway?

Ciao
