The complication seems to be that hwint is not currently available for

libgcov.a (it is included by system.h which is not in libgcov.a). I

thought this was why Aldy took the approach of splitting out the hwi

routines into a separate helper file included by both hwint.c and

gcov-io. I can see if there is a way to simplify this, but I'm not

sure it is simple to include hwint into the gcov-io.c (and therefore

libgcov.a).
