POSIX won't, either: POSIX semantics for rm(1) just deletes a directory entry. The file storage gets GC'd (more or less) when nobody is using it. The problem here is that a file *not* in use is deleted, but the user wants to access it by name after that. I suspect that bootstrap-clean accesses a file-in-use (specifically, the dumped executable) before getting to DOC, so "use Windows" might save the day here. However, since Richard is experiencing the problem, we can assume a switch to Windows is not an acceptable resolution. :-)
