Comment(by weasel):

 <weasel> - build tor with debugging symbols (you probably already have)
 <weasel> - build all the libraries you care about with debugging symbols
 (probably you only care about libssl, maybe zlib)
 <weasel> - copy this tor to a new directory
 <weasel> - copy all the libraries it uses to that dir too (ldd ./tor will
 tell you)
 <weasel> - set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include that dir.  ldd ./tor should now
 show you it's using the libs in that dir
 <weasel> - run that tor
 <weasel> - reset oprofiles counters/start it
 <weasel> - after a while, have it dump the stats on tor and all the libs
 in that dir you created.
 <weasel> - profit
 <Sebastian> Is there a reason not to care about libevent?
 <weasel> don't know
 <weasel> your profile will tell you afterwards
