Target by target and tonight I came to the last: OSX.
And there I noticed that the ppcppc 2.1.5 compiler stopped searching

Is there a way, flag, option, define, whatever to turn this behaviour
back on ?
No. The whole case sensitivity handling in the compiler is pretty broken
by design currently, as it's hardcoded per OS based on the most common
situation under said OS and not configurable in any way (although most
OSes nowadays support case insensitive, case-aware and case-sensitive
file systems).
Yes, i can imagine it popping up more often.
Your issue is caused by the implementation of a directory cache in the
compiler since 2.0.4, which for systems defined as case-aware did not
keep track of the original file name casing. Your issue is probably
fixed/worked around in 2.3.1, but that change will not be merged back to
2.1.5, because it was quite invasive. It will however be in 2.2.2
OK, I can live with that. I'll stick to 2.0.4 on osx for a while then.
Thanks for the explanation.
Marc
