This code checks whether the target file already exists and fails if this is 
the case. 

I am not sure whether this is an intended behavior. When running "make" two 
times in a row, the second make fails now:

> Archive file ../linuxbios.rom already exists Unable to create
> ../linuxbios.rom as a LAR archive. make: ***

I fixed this in the Makefile for now by deleting the output file before 
creating it.
