Follow-up Comment #3, bug #23647 (project coreutils):
There have been several bug reports about the behavior of GNU make's
--enable-case-insensitive-file-system configure option. This also affects
MSYS, and was the cause of severe headaches for Autoconf, when make couldn't
tell the difference between the real file INSTALL vs. the .PHONY target
install, such that 'make install' entered an infinite loop, but ONLY if you
did an in-tree (rather than VPATH) build. Search the bug-make and autoconf
lists for more details on why this should be reported to the make folks, and
dealt with there before deciding to even bother worrying about it on
coreutils.
