As this request has surfaced more than once so far, I just implemented an option "--ignore-errors". Use it with parameter "gcov" to ignore non-zero gcov-tool return codes and "source" to ignore missing source files. This is an experimental feature, i.e. currently restricted to the cvs version of lcov.

Have a look at the --compat-libtool option of lcov (again, cvs version only).

I'll quote myself for the cvs access info:

Be sure to let me know about success/failure reports so I can decide whether to include these features in the next release version of lcov.
