If at all, gcov would be right in the gcc*b.zip package, not in any
separate one, as it comes as a part of the gcc sources, originally.

However, gcov style coverage analysis had not been made to work on
DJGPP, yet, last I looked. I've tried to use it, but executables
compiled with the -fprofile-arcs flag reliably crash on me, so I got
to assume there's something fundamentally broken.

'gcc -a' style basic block profiling does work, however. So if you
need coverage analysis, you can use that.
