And so it was. I tested it, and found the problem. In
/usr/src/usr.bin/ld/ld.c, around line 3124, it does:
(void)unlink (output_filename);
I think you can just delete that, or you can change it to do:
if (stat (output_filename, &statbuf) != -1) {
if (S_ISREG(statbuf.st_mode))
(void) unlink (output_filename);
}
(I've just done the latter.) Just tested it, and I get an error.
