Public bug reported: Lcov geninfo in Quantal is incompatible with the gcc that ships with Quantal.
To be precise, I get a lot of these from geninfo: geninfo: Argument "=====" isn't numeric in numeric gt (>) at /usr/bin/geninfo line 1126. According to the Redhat Bugzilla this is because of updated gcov output from gcc-4.7: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=829514 The RH bugzilla does contain a patch, and upstream fixed this in lcov 1.10.
