These are all Linux-specific, but I've had good experiences with all of 
them:

GNU gprof

Callgrind/KCachegrind
http://kcachegrind.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/show.cgi

oprofile
http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/

All the tools will probably need you to compile with -g to get useful line 
numbers out. gprof also needs some other compiler flags (check the man 
page).

Don't know if this is still valid, but gprof might have issues with 
multithreaded applications:
