I assume cygport returns nonzero when your rm failure happens.  This 
loop has been running for about three hours (~40 iterations):

    while true
    do
        if cygport fetchmail-6.3.19-1 all > build.log 2>&1
        then
            echo `date` >> loop.log
        else
            echo FAIL
            exit 1
        fi
    done

Can this catch your problem, in principle?

I'll assume it can, and leave it running overnight to increase the 
chance that it triggers your bug.
