Here is a simple test case that reproduces the problem:
=======
c:/temp$ cat foo.cpp
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "hello, world" << std::endl ;
}
c:/temp$ g++ -c foo.cpp
c:/temp$ ar ru "c:\temp\foo.lib" foo.o
c:/temp$ ar ru "e:\temp\foo.lib" foo.o
ar: e:\temp\foo.lib: rename: Cross-device link
======
Note that when the target archive is to be built on the same drive as the
current directory, there is no problem. I realize there are alternatives to
the "e:\..." syntax which don't cause this problem, but the build system I'm
using (Jam/MR) doesn't really allow me to form paths like //e/...
Thanks for listening,
Dave
