[LLVMdev] Building the llvm runtime: 'Can't destroy file: The process cannot access the fi

[Reid Spencer]

It looks like what you're getting is a sharing violation. Although, I
don't understand why. The llvm-ar.exe when its building an archive file
always builds it in a temporary. Only when that is complete does it
remove the old one and rename the temporary. Perhaps this is a result of
doing parallel build and the "lib3.tmp" file (that name looks wrong to
me) is being accessed by concurrent build scripts?
