Unless I'm missing something, isn't this only accessed from this file?
(So could be static with a non-underbarred name)

Ack.

I have a vague memory that perhaps the __gcov_error_file is seen from other dynamic objects, and one of them gets to open/close it? I think the closing function needs to reset it to NULL though? (In case it's reactivated before the process exits)



And this protection here, makes me wonder what happens if one is
IN_GCOV_TOOL. Does it pay attention to GCOV_ERROR_FILE?  That would
seem incorrect, and thus the above should be changed so that stderr is
unconditionally used when IN_GCOV_TOOL?

You are correct.  I will fix it.

thanks.

+static void
+gcov_error_exit(void)
+{
+  if (__gcov_error_file && __gcov_error_file != stderr)
+    {

Braces are not needed here.

Unless of course my speculation about setting it to NULL is right.
