It turns out that the current structure of the tests makes using the
GNU coverage tool maximally difficult.

Getting coverage data is designed to be done in a single run of a
program. Unfortunately, the FLAC test suite runs most of the test
programs tens or ever hundreds of times, each with a different
set of parameters. To get proper coverage data, the coverage data
for each individual run would need to be given a unique file name
and then the hundreds of different coverage data files merged.

This is not an simple task.
