Of course you can always patch the Makefile and add
"-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage" to the OPT variable. The best
solution would be to add a new configure option --with-coverage.

BTW, I'm currently working on a new coverage tool. The mayor
difference to Skip's tools is that the coverage information
is imported into a database, so coverage information can be
tracked over time.
