Windows 2000 has yet to enter the mainstream of DJGPP development and
testing.  So consider yourself on the bleeding edge ;-)  That usually means
that you will have to investigate the problem deeper and tell here the gory
details.  Since in this case, it seems like the `rename' function is failing,
it would be a good idea to write a simple test program that calls `rename' in
the same way as strip does, and see whether it fails in the same way.  If it
does, then please step inside `rename' with a debugger and tell what the
problem is.

Oh, and please tell the version of strip.exe ("strip --version" should tell),
since this is the program which fails.
