Thanks for the response.  However, I don't think VPATH affects the file
names embedded in the GCC artifacts like *.gcno.  Also, unfortunately,
we can't simply use VPATH here, because:

>>    intl/
>>      Makefile

When the final artifact (i.e. libgnuintl.la) is already built in
gettext-runtime/intl/, the prerequisites (e.g. *.lo files and a header
file generated at build time) won't be populated under
gettext-tools/intl/.  Those files are actually referred to from other
directories under gettext-tools/.

I also found the GCOV_PREFIX envvar, but it didn't help either.
