That is irrelevant.  The GCC manual says you can't use a pointer as
the argument to __builtin_expect anyway:

     Since you are limited to integral expressions for EXP, you should
     use constructions such as

          if (__builtin_expect (ptr != NULL, 1))
            error ();

     when testing pointer or floating-point values
