>Description:
I don't know which makefiles and config files produce which, but an inconsistent use of 'rm' in them is causing my KDE3 build to spit out confirmation requests for deleting 'conftest.sed'.  I have rm, mv, and cp aliased by 'rm -i',...  In most of the config files, rm is used correctly, rm -f, but a few cases omit this.
>How-To-Repeat:
alias rm='rm -i'

build KDE3, or one of the subs (eg: net/kdenetwork3)
>Fix:
In net/kdenetwork3 for example, configure: 1520 -> 'rm conftest.sed'
aclocal.m4: 4304 -> 'rm conftest.*', acinclude.m4: 2795 -> 'rm libtool.orig' and 4292 -> 'rm conftest.*', aclocal.m4: 2807 -> 'rm libtool.conf' and 4304 -> 'rm conftest.*'

Also, because of my -i aliases on cp and mv, the build stops for overwrite confirmation on some misc temp files.  This may not be considered a bug, however like the inconsistent use of rm.  The line numbers are: acinclude.m4 (10161, 10162), aclocal.m4 (10137, 10138), and configure (5646, 5647).

I may not have caught all, or found the base problem files.
