I see, I misread it.
The non-comdat warning IMO ought go the same way as the other profile confussions.
I guess something like
if (!flag_profile_correction)
  error (...);
like existing cases in profile.c

Yep, lets just go with error with !flag_profile_correction and being silent
otherwise.
If we want to go with warnings, we need to change all the similar places
in profile.c and elsewhere.

Yep, indeed.

The patch is OK with the error message as discussed above.
