Ha! - so it is just a problem with the way that it was compiled for 
CentOS, then (oprofile getting recompiled before binutils-devel somehow?).

So, I got the centos5 SRPM for oprofile, rebuilt it and installed the 
RPM, and hey presto - a working oprofile again (on ia32).

It looks like the current ia32 CentOS oprofile RPM in circulation, then, 
needs replacing with a recompiled one.

Hywel.
