What is the smallest program which fails? Post it here (the source and the build recipe). If you cannot do that, then tell us its characteristics. Such as: CPU architecture, compiler and version, C runtime library and version, size of executable ("/usr/bin/size my_app"), number and size of shared libraries ("/usr/bin/ldd my_app", then 'size' of each library), duration of execution ("time ./my_app arg1..."; telling us "a lot of time", without quantifying it, is useless).
Then, show the system calls of a failing run: strace -f -o strace-bad.out -e trace=file valgrind ./my_app arg1... and pay particular attention to the pathname and directory of what should be the .gcda files. Contrast with the system calls of a non-failing run: strace -f -o strace-good.out -e trace=file ./my_app arg1... Yes, this is work for you; but it is the minimal price that you must pay for good answers.
