	You can use the -a option of the Sun C compiler. There is a problem
with the Sun version of AT&T's product because it generates the intermediate
.c file in a transient subdirectory which is deleted. The .d file containing
line counts is also, unfortunately, deleted, so editing the CC script is
needed. We have a bug in to Sun about this, perhaps you could encourage them
to hurry up and fix it :-)
	Once you manage to retain the .d files, tcov works fine.
