Here's what happens when I compile a program with gpp and try to use strip
on the executable:

    c:\c++>gpp test.cpp -o test.exe
    c:\c++>strip -v test.exe
    copy from test.exe(coff-go32-exe) to staaaaaa(coff-go32-exe)
    c:/opt/djgpp/bin/strip.exe: test.exe: rename: Invalid argument (EINVAL)

I'm using Windows 2000 build 2128, and gcc 2.95.2.

I looked in the DJGPP FAQ and found that DJGPP does have some problems
with Windows NT, but the problems described there don't seem to explain
this symptom. I also checked the DJGPP archives and found problems when
strip was used with drive letters and backward slashes, but there are
none in the command line or the error messages that I get.

Any ideas on what the problem is and how to solve it?
