Bug Description

When building, kcov never exits when running the tests and eventually times out on the buildd. After checking, kcov never exits even on the most basic program being run on powerpc. I suspect it's not catching the signal (ptrace problem?).

Apart from x86, all other architectures are untested, so probably it simply doesn't work on PowerPC. Version 5 is also quite old, so it might be that there has been some fixes since then, I don't remember.
