             Bug #: 53744
           Summary: gcov version oscillates between 407* and 407p on
                    branches
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: gcov-profile
        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: rgue...@gcc.gnu.org


The GCOV version oscillates because it includes the development phase for
some weird reason.  That makes it extremely annoying to use profile-feedback
data to track down bugs.  The version does not include the patch-level version,
so I see no reason to include the development phase.
