.. and another glitch...
With -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage we remove .da files when
recompiling, while with -fprofile-arcs only we do not.
We should behave consistently here. What do you think is better
behaviour? (We now do have the checksums so the file can hold profiles
of multiple versions of the same file that would vote for not removing,
while removing is usually what user do want)
