A few things to test, so the problem is more clear:

  1) What happens if you tell gcc to put its output on C:, like this: 

   f:\src\addrbook > gcc -v addrbook.cc -o c:/tmp/addrbook.exe -liostream

  2) Does this happen if you say `-o addrbook' (without the .exe
extension?  If the message is still printed, please see if a file called
`addrbook' (without .exe) is generated on your current working directory
on drive F:. 

  3) Is this specific to the linker, or *any* output file that gcc wants
to create on drive F:?  The easiest way to test this is to ask GCC to
compile only: 

   f:\src\addrbook > gcc -v -c addrbook.cc -o addrbook.o


Does any of the above work?
