Thank you, but nack. The header is provided in the latest gcc tip code.
Sorry for the API thrash! It's certainly OK to comment it out for the time
being; it just provides some assembly macros for specifying feedback-guided
optimization.

I'll take a look at this; I've been focusing primarily on the tilegx
architecture recently and something may have bitrotted in the tilepro
support. Thanks for the pointer.

That's probably a good idea; we do enable it by default in our actual
shipping configuration. I've heard mixed things about the utility of
including "config" files in the kernel, so I haven't been bothering to
update them, but it's probably worth a refresh at this point.
