The strategy with regard to dependencies is to isolate the
compiler that is fussy about upper case, but deal with lower
case everywhere else.
Imagine we had a C compiler that needed upper case:
foo.o: foo.c # dependencies know nothing about FOO.o or FOO.c
ln -sf foo.c FOO.c # make temporary FOO.c -> foo.c symlink
$(CC) FOO.c -c # compile FOO.c to FOO.o
rm -f FOO.c # don't need symlink any more
mv FOO.o foo.o # rename to lower case
We're basically scripting around the compiler to make it
look like it accepts and produces lower case; we confine
all that into the small "firewall" around the compiler,
and prevent that from spreading into our build system.
