The preferred form would be:

factory.addStep(Compile(command=["cov-build", "--dir", "../dirname", "make", "all"))

which doesn't use the shell.

Well, where is the cov-build program found, and is it in the PATH?

As long as it can be run as a program, there shouldn't be any problem
running coverty scans in buildbot. A quick look at the documentation I
could find for 'cov-build' suggests that it actually just generates a
tarball to upload, and that the analysis and reports are handled
elsewhere.
