SUMMARY: text file busy

I haven't got a response, therefore I analyzed the install-sh script which
came with autoconf. This shell script was able to actually install a
program despite the fact that it was running. The solution to my
problem is quite easy:

Just had to change from

program: program.o
        cc -o $_at_ $<

to

program: program.o
        rm -f $_at_
        cc -o $_at_ $<

The `rm' command works even if the program is running.
