You should probably do much longer runs (eg --test=15 or more) to get
things like cfg_get_section completely out of the way.

If this is still seen on longer runs, we should look into it. Maybe we
should try callgrind with very long test runs (--test=60 or much more)
and see if it can sample enough for kcachegrind to show some info within
the hash functions. This might even help see relations between the
source and the resulting assembler.
