Can anyone tell me what the gcov message "Merge mismatch for summaries" means. I have found the message in the gcc source here:

http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/gcc/gcc-5646/gcc/libgcov.c

It seems to be a sanity check that the tags in the .gcda files match but I'm not sure. Anyone know how to work around this?

Thanks, Mike
