Does it at least count the sub-steps separately? So they can be divided
by say 8, for an 8-parallel cpu. After all that's the point of simple-v,
N of these happen at the same time in parallel. Without that there'd be
no point at all to write anything at this point.

Another issue that came up is getting the C baseline extracted if it
happens to call any helpers in libgcc. That needs either linking, or
manually appending the asm of those functions, and everything they
call...
