This will be very nice! My original purpose here is to see whether there is a "good" way to have case-sensitive phony targets when HAVE_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS is defined. Your suggestion is potentially one step closer for me. Only non-phony targets should have a canonicalized name. I think in phony targets the field canonical_name (assume you mean an additional field in the struct) should not be used at all.
