I've seen this too for other projects, and it is generally some
confusion about which directory to search for the *.gcda file.  If you
strace lcov you will see that it is searching for the file at the wrong
place.  Sometimes I create symlinks to work around this (the output
seems OK) if I really want to get the output, but it would be great if
this was tracked down and fixed properly.
