You might try rm'ing the file each time before recompiling. My guess is
that the old image is still cached and causing you grief. I think we agreed
that filesystems need to unhash files which are opened for writing, not just
files which are removed.

This is harder than it looks, because the kernel holds a connection open for
the hashed file, see how dos_remove() handles this.
