Yes, this is known behavior, but I could not find a way to stop CDT from running rm -rf.
But it does not harm:

• on windows, because it always will fail due to the lag of the rm command.
• on linux, since it tries to invoke rm without any file name argument, which will make rm fail.

Well,on Linux, if I happen to have a directory uit_mon in whatever directory rm is executed, then its gone.
On Windows, I cant build either, because eclipse tries to do a clean first if the build directory is not configured.

So Id consider this problematic

rm -rf on linux does nothing. So no problem here.
On Windows, why does your eclipse try to do a clean first before build?

CDT does a clean before a build (on Linux and Windows), if the directory is missing. Check with the attached project, see the content of my build console. The why is something I hope you can figure out.

14:05:41 **** Clean-only build of configuration Release for project uit_mon ****
rm -rf src/main.d src/main.o uit_mon
