The variables are:

unlikely_section_label
hot_section_label
cold_section_end_label
hot_section_end_label

They are used in assemble_start_function and assemble_end_function,
where they are written out.  They are also used in dbxout.c and
dwarf2out.c, where they are used to calculate the sizes of the text
sections for the debugging information.
