You said it compiles, links and runs without errors, but later said it
doesn't run.  Which do you mean?
It's suspected this is caused by stubify, the last phase of compilation.  It
seems stubify can't rename its temporary file and complains.  The exe that
would normally be replaced, is it read-only or something? Can you reproduce
the problem by compiling from the command line?
