John's suggestion worked for me, but if it is not universal, perhaps
the `rm' lines should just be commented out in the mkoctfile along
with a little note, something like:

## Uncomment these lines if you get `Text file busy' errors
## from ld.  This may happen if the .oct file is currently running
## while you are trying to recompile it.
## $dbg "rm -f $octfile"
## rm -f $octfile
