make fails with --enable-testcover option

[openhpi2]

When we try to build the openhpi code with --enable-testcover option during configuration, it fails with below erros:

Configured as: ./configure --disable-ipmi --enable-testcover --enable-oa_soap --enable-ilo2_ribcl

Errors:

The above metioned erros goes off, when we include CXXFLAGS="--coverage" while configuration as

./configure --disable-ipmi --enable-testcover --enable-oa_soap --enable-ilo2_ribcl CXXFLAGS="--coverage"
