Are you running on Windows?  If so then you'll have to describe how you
compiled your version of GNU make, because normally (IIRC) it is
case-insensitive.

For POSIX-based systems, obviously, make is not case-insensitive.  If
you recompile it with the HAVE_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS option set in
config.h then it might work: I'm not sure if this has been tested on
non-Windows systems.
