Magic-Check-0.001: Build tends to succeed the second time under Strawberry Perl

[twata1]

Hello,

Recently, The XS module builds tend to succeed the second time, as shown below.
It may be my environment, such as antivirus software.

Strawberry Perl 5.28.2 on Windows 8.1:

Thank you,

I have seen this kind of thing happen in other modules, and I don't fully understand it. The crucial line here is

C:/Strawberry/c/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/7.1.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot open output file blib\arch\auto\Magic\Check\Check.xs.dll: Permission denied

It may be my environment, such as antivirus software.

That is actually a fairly likely sort of explanation.
