Output File Not Updated

Symptom:

Generated compile output file <module>.out is not being updated when builds are repeated.

Reason:

The noclobber shell variable controls whether or not to overwrite existing files when you are redirecting output to that file. The Build Tool scripts redirect output to <module>.out during the build process.

By default, the build scripts unset noclobber in the generated MAKE files to enable overwriting.

Action:

Ensure that unset noclobber is defined in the generated <module>.mak file.
