From: address@hidden Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 15:12:19 -0400 (EDT) Is it possible that the Cygwin port of Make you are using is case-insensitive to target names? If so, that's a bad misfeature. I suggest to ask a question on the Cygwin list about this, perhaps there's an option to disable this. ----------- It sure looks like it, but Cygwin make is gnu make. It doesn't have that problem.
GNU Make has the HAVE_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS feature, see config.h.in in the GNU Make distribution. Someone could have built a Cygwin Make with that feature turned on. --------------I didn't know that! Although I should have. The mingw32-make that I use to build WIndows emacs has that feature. I've just built a cygwin make with that feature, and got the same result as the OP.
