cases where the kernel runs on a separate machine, special preparations
must be made, depending on where the gcov tool is used:
+.. _gcov-test:
+
a) gcov is run on the TEST machine
The gcov tool version on the test machine must be compatible with the
machine. If any of the path components is symbolic link, the actual
directory needs to be used instead (due to make's CURDIR handling).
+.. _gcov-build:
+
b) gcov is run on the BUILD machine
The following files need to be copied after each test case from test
