Just ran across this in the mail archives?
> gcov - gcov program (why gcov$(exeext) in gcc/Makefile.in?)
Because gcov is a program. The other targets are .phony's. On
dos-like platforms (djgpp, cygwin), real programs have an .exe suffix,
and the Makefile needs to reflect that. The only way around that
would be for configure to add a .phony for gcov if $(exeext) is
non-null.
