patch in issue26307 (which should be in soon) and do the following:

$ CC=clang ../3.6/configure --with-optimizations
$ make profile-opt
Error: Cannot perform PGO build because llvm-profdata was not found in PATH
Please add it to PATH and run ./configure again
Makefile:481: recipe for target 'profile-opt' failed

We can make this experience better.  It needs to

(1) Become a configure time error, and
(2) Do a better job of finding llvm-profdata (which exists in ${PATH} as "llvm-profdata-3.8" on Ubuntu 16.04).

i meant issue26359 above, not 26307.
