            Bug ID: 110072
           Summary: __gcov_dump cannot generate gcda for so files opened
                    with dlopen when gcc version is later than 5.1.0
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c

example

When the version of gcc is lower than 5.1.0, __gcov_dump cannot generate gcda
files for the so files opened by dlopen.

See attachment for sample project.

After comparing the different versions of GCC code, I found that gcc before
5.1.0 stored counter data in gcov_list, while later versions of GCC stored it
in __gcov_master.

The two versions are defined as follows:

gcc4.8.5 in libgcc/libgcov.c
```
/* Chain of per-object gcov structures.  */
static struct gcov_info *gcov_list;
```

gcc8.5.0 in libgcc/libgcov-driver.c
```
/* Exactly one of these will be live in the process image.  */
struct gcov_master __gcov_master = 
  {GCOV_VERSION, 0};
```

The attachment modify from https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=83879

To reproduce the issue, need to replace the gcc command in run.sh.

GCC before 10.x is no longer being supported. That is we are not producing
another release of GCC before 10.x. So this is just a dup of bug 83879.
