[PATCH] docs: gcov: correct build machine files copying
From: Baruch Siach
Date: Mon Oct 07 2024 - 01:02:13 EST
.gcda files are not present on the build machine. These files are
generated at run time on test machine. The sample gather_on_build.sh
script listed below correctly refers to .gcno files only.
