  Failure of rename-into-place is almost always caused by an AV program (or
similar) that opens handles to your files and holds them open when your
program was expecting nothing to have them open.  Take a browse at the FAQ entry:

  Because you are running a non-Cygwin version of 'ar', using a script that
translates filenames for you automatically.  So it is in fact rather likely
that this isn't a cygwin problem at all, even though you happen to see it when
you launch the programs from a cygwin shell.
