Description

The follow commands:

 touch a.scm b.c
 csc -o b a.scm b.c

will delete the file b.c.

I expected, running the above, that the executable b would be created (or any errors in doing so to be reported.) Instead one finds the input file has been deleted.

Minimally I consider this anti-social, maximally I lost a file I'd invested a lot of time writing. :-(

Can a warning, error, or workaround be added to csc so it does not delete input files specified on the command-line?
