make cover is broken, apparently because of the use of Dl_info and a couple other GNU-specific functions in Parrot_print_backtrace() in src/exceptions.c . On my system __USE_GNU needs to be defined when the Dl_info struct is used, which happens during make cover. The attached patch makes src/exceptions.c compile again under make cover, but it's probably not a long-term fix. All it does is #define __USE_GNU in the same #ifdef where Dl_info is used. I don't propose that this patch be committed. The revision that exposes this problem is r30173, but I suspect that the offending code was added earlier.
