Maybe Alexander had reasons to add "--without-profiler" without any 
configuration option. He added three more options within the same patch 
but left only this one fixed to "without".

So the compromise could be to add a new configuration option with 
default value of "n" and add this configuration option as a dependency 
to python3-lxml?

But as long as we don't know Alexander's reasons to do so, compiling 
with the profiler option could break something else.
