The problem only manifests itself on hosts where the above files
are already present; for if they are absent then the rm -f does
not fail with -EPERM.
Before looking in mainline gawk for a fix, I fixed it myself.
Then in comparing with mainline gawk, I found their fix was
not 100% complete. So here we get a backport of the mainline
gawk commit, plus the delta as a commit that I've sent to the
gawk mailing list.
