Re: [PATCH v2 2/7] Makefile: Include subdirectories in "make cover" reports

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason wrote:

We generate profiling files in all the $(OBJECTS) dirs. Aggregate
results from there, and add them to the corresponding clean target.

Also expand the gcov arguments. Generate reports for things like "x()
|| y()" using --all-blocks, and add --preserve-paths since we're
profiling in subdirectories now.

All good things.  It might be good to add a GCOVFLAGS that can be
added to the "make" command line, then.

What about coverage-untested-functions?

This will not error out if "for" fails; maybe it would make sense to use
set -e or exit.

More importantly, it spews quite a lot of output:

Can gcov be convinced to be a little quieter (i.e., only useful warnings)?
(I don’t know; just asking.)

Here are the changes I squashed in for testing; please feel free to
take or leave what you like.
