Instead of doing that, try compiling the following simple
program, which seem to work OK under mingw and wine:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <windows.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  if (argc != 3)
    {
      fprintf (stderr, "usage; %s SOURCE DEST\n", argv[0]);
      return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

  printf ("renaming %s as %s... ", argv[1], argv[2]);
  if (MoveFileEx (argv[1], argv[2], MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING))
    printf ("success\n");
  else
    printf ("error %d\n", GetLastError ());

  return 0;
}
