geninfo fails to find gcov files when the path (and thus gcov filename) begins with ..

The gcov manpage suggests .. should be munged to ^ but that doesn't seem to be happening. I can't figure out any workaround for this problem, though identical scripts used to work.

The failure is because the perl glob fails to find the files since they are hidden (begin with .). The attached patch fixes this.
