Unless you have some broken OS, you can just 'rm' the binary file, then
compile with output to it.
The binary will still exist, since the inode and its corresponding data
blocks will not be freed until the last process using it exits, but the
directory entry will be removed, so the linker writing the binary will
write to a new file.
