+This option diagnoses those cases where a new function or a new file is added
+to the user code between compiling with @option{-fprofile-generate} and with
+@option{-fprofile-use}, without regenerating the profiles.  In these cases, the
+profile feedback data files do not contain any profile feedback information for
