>Description:
        in

          gcc-3.0 -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage SomeDir/somefile.c

        gcc puts somefile's .bb, .bbg, and .da files in the gcc's current
        working directory, not in SomeDir. This contradicts the
        gcc-3.0 docs:

          "These additional files are placed in the directory
           where the source code is located."
