Description

It seems like the `google-cloud-profiler` PyPI package doesn't have any wheels, so it requires a compiler toolchain to install. It would be great if the package had pre-built wheels.

```shell
(host) $ docker run --rm -it amd64/python:3.8-slim-buster bash
(docker) $ pip install google-cloud-profiler
[...eventually fail due to missing gcc...]
```

(I'm making this request because [Apache Beam added a dependency on Cloud Profiler recently](https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/14877), and this caused my Docker build to fail because we don't have a compiler available. To avoid adding bulk to our Docker image, we'd need to use multi-stage builds. As a Beam user, this seems like a fair amount of added complexity for a transitive/indirect dependency.)

Thanks!
