I have a C++ project that uses the GNU Autotools for its build scripts and libtool for linking. Recently I have added code coverage instrumentation with gcov, by ensuring that
GCOV_CFLAGS="-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage"
GCOV_LDFLAGS="-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage"
..get included in my CFLAGS and LDFLAGS respectively. On OS X 10.7.4 using g++-4.2 (installed by homebrew), everything works fine.
On Ubuntu 12.04 using g++ 4.6.3, libtool fails to link one of my tests:
/bin/bash ./libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link g++ -Wall -Wextra -Werror -ansi -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage -g -O0 -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage -L/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib -o myproj/inttests/locale_test myproj/inttests/locale_test.o myproj/app/libapp.la -lboost_thread-mt -lboost_system-mt -pthread -llog4cplus

/usr/bin/ld: myproj/inttests/.libs/locale_test: hidden symbol `atexit' in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc_nonshared.a(atexit.oS) is referenced by DSO
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [myproj/inttests/locale_test] Error 1
How do I fix my build on ubuntu/g++ 4.6?
