Problem with gprof for code containing static functions

Problem with gprof for code containing static functions

I've been encountering some problems using gprof (GNU gprof (GNU Binutils) 2.24.51.20140623) in the most recent cygwin (32 bits) . Basically gprof seems to be missing static functions calls in the flat profile report. For the attached source file (compiled with -Wall -g -pedantic -std=c99 -pg -O0) if I disable the USE_STATIC macro the flat report seems ok. 
Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.

 time   seconds   seconds    calls   s/call   s/call  name

  8.07      2.17     0.18                             _mcount_private 
  1.79      2.21     0.04  1000000     0.00     0.00  f4 
  0.90      2.23     0.02                             _fentry__ 
  0.00      2.23     0.00    10000     0.00     0.00  f3 
  0.00      2.23     0.00      100     0.00     0.02  f2 
  0.00      2.23     0.00        1     0.00     2.03  f1 
  
But if I enable it (making those functions static) I get pretty weird results:

Is this a known issue?
