I guess it writes it into / (ie. guestfsd's current directory which is
pretty much always root)?
Yes you are right. gcov does not care about the $pwd, it just outputs
.gcda files under the directory where I built the source, e.g.
/home/build/rpmbuild/BUILD/libguestfs-1.2.7/daemon
In order to download these files correctly, we have to use the debug
command to access the root filesystem, although building the source in a
directory under /sysroot may make things easier.

We have/had the same problem capturing core files too ...
