No option I've checked as I've stated in the first post.
The non-cb build system just deletes all files, I guess it has the same problem,
but I've not checked if there are rm rules added before the ar rules in the generated Makefiles.

I think I can add this functionality.  Should deleting the archive (just before recreation) be default behavior, or should it be controlled by a switch?

oBFusCATed:
Default.

Alpha:
Try this patch.  (I am not sure what the equivalent Linux command is to only try to delete a file if it exists, so someone else will have to change that.)

Why don't you simply use wxRemoveFile?
