IA-64 seems to be fine with unlikely section at least at our periodic tester
setup, otherwise SPEC2000 FDO testing would break. So it might be specific for
ia64 HP-UX and in that case indeed correct fix is to simply define cold and hot
sections to be .text sections (or fix it at binutils side) for HP-UX IA-64 (and
possibly PA target too).

What I am confused about is how partial inlining affect placement of
init_target_chars. If it was because function got partially inlined, the wrong
call would be named init_target_chars.part.XXX and it is not.

It is possible that partial inlining affect profile in some of the callers and
then it might be some bug in profile updating, so I would like to see a
testcase.
x.c in the PR is truncated and when i compile builtins.c from my GCC tree
(x86-64) I do not get init_target_chars in unlikely function.
For some funny reason I however get gimple_rewrite_call_expr. All uses of it
are preceeded by very many exists from the function that makes them appear
cold. Funny but probably not harmful.
