The gcov man page reports that one can give gcov multiple source files
at one invocation.  This does not work:

    gcov -o BUILD-Linux-i686--coverage ../src/*.c

reports that most source files contain 'No executable lines'.
Whereas

   for i in ../src/*.c; do gcov -o BUILD-Linux-i686--coverage $i; done

produced sensible answers.

This is probably a problem for upstream, but an immediate fix would be
to alter the man page to warn users that they can give only one source
file at a time.

please could you recheck with gcc-4.4 (unstable), gcc-4.5 (experimental), 
gcc-snapshot (unstable)?
