Handling this part with your 0001 seems reasonable to me. I think we
should backpatch that one.

I'm not sure sure about the 0002 patch though. It builds in the
assumption that lcov is broken and that we're going to ignore these
warnings by default [forever]. Do we really want to bake those flags
into our build system?
