[yocto] gcov on target

[Robert Berger]

Hi,

I use Yocto Project, 1.3 "danny" for a beagle-xm and would like to show
kernel code coverage with a core-image-sato-sdk.
This image is pretty complete. Unfortunately there is no gcov available
on the target.

It looks like it's only built for the host.

Did someone manage to build/run gcov for an armv7a?
... or let's put it otherwise: Why doesn't it exist on the target?

Regards,

Robert...The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts
agree, is by accident. That's where we come in; we're computer
professionals. We cause accidents.
