Does the distro compile without the patch?

What is the real command line for invoking the linker?  You may be able 
to obtain it by passing something like V=1 or VERBOSE=1 to make; e.g., 
'make V=1'.

The linker script [either explicit or implicit] does not have 
instructions what to do with .text.unlikely section.  You probably need 
to fix the linker script to handle the section; one way of doing this is 
to handle it in the same manner as .text section.
