Hmm, and as libgcov is static we can end up with multiple copies in shared
libraries which means multiple mutexes and thus exposal to the fcntl
file-locking ineffectiveness (in this case the library must fork, of course).
At least we should not see crashes even in this case because we properly
protect the non-shared __gcov_var.
