 Maybe some Cygwin -- more precisely Windoofs -- flavour... :D

 > There was a similar discussion about `$RM` before in which it was
 decided that `$RM` would not be used anymore.  Now `$RM` has been replaced
 by `rm` (or `rm -f`) everywhere.

 I know, a long lasting discussion. (And the main reason for unsetting it
 was just a change in autotools which caused some trivial trouble,
 otherwise using variables might not be necessary, but is always more
 flexible, since that way one doesn't have to set up special `PATH`s to
 build or use Sage. I'm btw. still in favour of supporting `~/.sagerc` and
 perhaps `SAGERC`, not to mention using `SAGE_CC`, `SAGE_CFLAGS` etc.
 instead of `CC`, `CFLAGS`, since one never knows where the latter come
 from, meaning if they've intentionally been set [for Sage], and -- more
 important -- whether they've been set by the user or by some Sage
 script...)
