--- Comment #41 from Martin Liška <marxin at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The patch survives PGO bootstrap of GCC and it shrinks size of gcda
file from 17MB to 12MB.

And compression can achieve the following:

zstd: 3.3 MB

$ time zstd *
real    0m0.082s
user    0m0.068s
sys    0m0.013s

gzip: 3.3 MB

$ time gzip *
real    0m0.357s
user    0m0.328s
sys    0m0.029s

So using compression is a very promising approach.
