Then what exactly do you expect Make to do about that?  We cannot
prevent child processes from opening files in a way that disallows
deletion by Make.  We could probably wait in a loop until the deletion
succeeds, but I'm not sure this will work.  Can you try adding such a
loop to Make?  My system reproduces this with too low probability, so
I'm not a good candidate for this experiment.

MinGW Make, of course.  The same one you found on ezwinports.
