C++ copy all functions from shared library to executable

I want to do profiling on a C++ executable which uses a shared library. gprof can't profile the functions in the shared library and I don't have sprof. Is there a way to copy all functions from the shared library to the executable and run it with gprof. I can make change in the make file but the shared library is a 3rd party library hence the functions need to copied.

Edit I want to find the time my program spends in each functions and the code contains nested functions hence a simple wrapper won't suffice.

You can use valgrind for profiling. This does not require special builds.

Edit: Valgrind is a process execution emulator that runs your process in its internal enviroment effectively interpreting each opcode, since the process is not running bare-metal valgrind is able to record what is going on internally. Callgrind (one of valgrinds command states) will record the time spent in each function so is ideal for profiling.
