As a distro we build our gcc packages with
--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs, so as to support installing
multiple ones in parallel. I think libgcov should be no different from
libgcc_s in this respect (and all other libraries of GCC should rather be
supporting this scheme as well, instead of standing as point-in-case of
not having to support this).
