I'm trying to debug the performance characterics of my own program so I'm following the tutorial on the golang blog. But I have 1 small issues I can't investigate the my own functions or call in the resulting profiling output. I'm using this command to build my binary:
go build -ldflags "-s -extldflags -static" -a -installsuffix cgo -o bin/brains
And when I use go tool pprof to examine the result I can only

As you can see a large amount of time is spend in the [brains] package, but I can't see any details of which functions like I do see for other packages! I probably doing something very stupid wrong of course so if somebody notices my mistake I would be very thankful if you point it out to me :D
ps: I'm doing the profiling on a linux environment and the analysis on my Macbook, but I think it shouldn't matter since the binary is statically build the same for both environments
Thanks,
