I don't think -E is problematic.  The leftover .o file happens with
several tests, and always after the cached rerun of configure.
The compiler invocations done every time where the object file isn't
removed are the exeext test and the default output file name test.

Does the compiler leave a leftover object file after this?
  echo 'int main () { }' > conftest.c
  cc conftest.c

or this?
  echo 'int main () { }' > conftest.c
  cc -o conftest conftest.c

Thanks,
Ralf
