Oops, the code I used actually looked like this:

#if !defined (__GNUC__) || !defined (HINT)
#  define __builtin_expect(e, v)   e
#endif

int foo (int n) {

#ifdef NEG

    if (__builtin_expect (n < 2, false)) {

#if defined __HP_aCC && defined HINT
#  pragma ESTIMATED_FREQUENCY 0
#endif

        return 1;
    }

    return n * foo (n - 1);

#else

    if (__builtin_expect (n > 1, true)) {

#if defined __HP_aCC && defined HINT
#  pragma ESTIMATED_FREQUENCY 0
#endif

        return n * foo (n - 1);
    }

    return 1;

#endif

}
