Multiple errors with GCOV

[Alex Besogonov <cyberax at elewise dot com>]

Good <time-of-day>!

I'm writing code coverage analysis tool for C++ which uses GCOV as a 
source of coverage information. My program is written in C++ and it 
heavily uses Boost libraries.

As a result of trying to run compile my program and Boost with GCOV 
support I've found that GCOV does not work well with complex C++ programs.

For example, GCC produces ICE when Boost.Program_Options is compiled as 
a dynamic library, Boost.Serialization compiles only if I make some 
modifications to xml_grammar.cpp file, etc.

I've tracked down a couple of bugs: 
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25351 and another one which 
I can't remember :)

I don't see any progress on GCOV, so I assume it's up to me to fix these 
bugs. I'm writing here to cooperate with GCOV developers to avoid 
duplicate work.
