There are two ways to get gcov to work. Either you add -lcov to the end of the
linking step or you use the same -f flags that you use at the compile stage.

So what I would like to happen is something like:

CFLAGS='-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage -O0 -g' ./configure --enable-debug --enable-cassert --enable-depend
make
make check
gcov src/backend/access/common/heaptuple.c

Perhaps the flags need to be in a separate variable instead of CFLAGS
specifically advertised to ensure the flags will show up in both compile and
linking lines.
