rm -f only ignores ENOENT errors.  There are open PRs about "rm -rf"
being broken on read-only file systems, but only "rm -f" is used so
this can't be the problem.  (rm normally sees ENOENT from lstat; for
the -r case it blunders on and tries to unlink the file, and most file
systems have the dubious behaviour of returning EROFS instead of ENOENT
for attempts to unlink nonexistent files, so rm -rf of a nonexistent
file (in an existent directory) sees EROFS and correctly barfs on it.)

So there seem to be 2 bugs removing the symlinks now:
- '-' before rm to hide bugs in rm.
- "echo" hard-coded to break "make -s".
