Maybe you aren't piping stderr as well?  Output and errors are 2 different
streams.

I wouldn't think there was even an 'rm' command in Windows XP.  Anyway, look
at a manpage (for future reference for you, do a web search in google for
'rm manpage'), there is no -c option, at least for the GNU verson of rm.  So
you'll have to try and figure out exactly what the programmers was trying to
accomplish with this and modify it to do the same on your system.  Or you
can just remove it and hope it works. :)

This is useless, though.  It only lets you know there was an error earlier
on, which is handy so you know there was one.  Not always easy to tell with
all the garbage gcc likes to throw out as it works.
