I poked around and found this:

https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-help/2005-11/msg00074.html

which says

gcov instrumentation is multi-process safe, but not multi-thread
safe. The multi-processing safety relies on OS level file locking,
which is not available on some systems.

That would explain why it works for me, but then there's a question
of why it doesn't work for you ...
