Well, do the profiled libraries automatically get installed when installing a release? Looking at the date in the directory tree, it seems as if the 4.4-RELEASE install on my machine installed them, but any make worlds no longer updated them, as I also have NOPROFILE=true set in make.conf. So, I guess since these libraries are not useful for anything, I could well delete them, right? On the other hand, the probably also wouldn't do any harm (except wasting disk space) if I just left them around, I guess...
