"core" is the default name of the files created by Linux and other Unices containing the memory dump of a process that crashed. I guess the reason why there's that `rm` in there is because a number of autoconf tests do segfault, and in the case the user has a shell session with an unlimited core size, it would find these extraneous files. -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes flamee...@flameeyes.eu — http://blog.flameeyes.eu/
