Steve, looks like recordmcount avoids referencing weak symbols directly
by their function symbol.  Maybe it can just skip weak symbols which
don't have a section symbol, since this seems like a rare scenario.

When does the .text.unlikely section disappear? During the creation of the
object, or later in the linker stage?
