    Darwin: Partial reversion of r14-3648 (Inits Section).
    
    Although the Darwin ABI places both hot and cold partitions in the same
    section (the linker can partition by name), this does not work with the
    current dwarf2out implementation.
    
    Since we do see global initialization code getting hot/cold splits, this
    patch places the cold parts into text_cold, and keeps the hot part in
    the correct Init section per ABI.
    
    TODO: figure out a way to allow us to match the ABI fully.
    
    gcc/ChangeLog:
    
            * config/darwin.cc (darwin_function_section): Place unlikely
            executed global init code into the standard cold section.
