[PATCH] gcov: Fix use of profile info section

If the -fprofile-info-section is used, then the gcov information is registered
in a linker set. This is done by build_gcov_info_var_registration(). The
compiler generated object placed in the section was not marked as referenced,
so once optimization was enabled, this object was optimized away. Mark it as
referenced.
gcc/
coverage.c (build_gcov_info_var_registration): Mark the object placed
in the linker set as referenced so that it does not get optimized away.
