I have seens similar problems when running make in mingw in a virtualized
qemu environment when compiling on network shared drives which are shared
by some versions of samba. For me possible workarounds have been to switch
working directory to a local drive of the virtualized machine or to switch
to an older version of samba. I had an old version 2.2.10 of samba laying
around only for the purpose of working together with qemu and
compilations. These problems seems to have disappeared about a year ago
with the latests versions of qemu and/or samba.
