>Fix:
It seems that "install-common:" target in gcc/Makefile.in is not properly written when it comes to installing "gcov":
> # Install the compiler executables built during cross compilation.
> install-common: native $(EXTRA_PARTS) lang.install-common
>
> [...]

> # Install gcov if it was compiled.

Removed program and installed program should have the same name, so there should either be
> rm -f $(bindir)/$(GCOV_INSTALL_NAME)$(exeext); \
> $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) gcov$(exeext) $(bindir)/$(GCOV_INSTALL_NAME)$(exeext); \
or
> rm -f $(bindir)/gcov$(exeext); \
