I was trying to compile a simple multi-file C++
program when i got this error message:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
cannot open output file a.exe: Permission denied
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

i moved all the files into a different directory and
abracadabra the error message didn't occur.  What was
happening when i was getting the "permission denied"
error?
