Comment 67 for bug 213708

I ran into an identical gcov issue while trying to build Wine on Ubuntu 9.04: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18832

I'm beginning to think there's a deeper problem exposing this for both of us, like something within gcc and gcov

This thread (about another gcov problem): http://nic.uoregon.edu/pipermail/tau-users/2009-April/000245.html suggests that it might be a mismatch issue:

> I was able to reproduce this only by having a mismatch of GCC built
> libraries. When I used a GCC 3.4.6 built TAU/PDT, I got:
>
> % tau_cc.sh -fprofile-arcs -fprofile-generate foo.c
>
> ...
> : undefined reference to `__gcov_indirect_call_profiler'
>
> However, when I rebuilt TAU,PDT, and then used it, I had no problem.
>
> When I'd used all 3.4.6 built libraries, it all worked as well, only with
> the mismatch could I reproduce it.
