The problem is the stupid decision on the part of the Linux kernel
people to have filenames that differ only by case in their source
tree.
True, but it is something that needs to be dealt with.....
Ideally by the Linux kernel maintainers fixing their source tree
(though doubtless they don't think it's a problem), but in the
meantime there is an easy workaround.
I believe the Linux kernel developers introduced this purposefully in
order to sabotage people trying to use Linux code on Windows. It's a
feature, not a bug.
The Linux kernel similarly sabotages people wanting to write kernel
extensions in C++ by purposefully using C++ keywords such as "class"
as names of kernel structures.
