OK, I hope I've finally managed to partially fix this incredibly annoying bug -- I say "partially" because the fix is sadly *for GNU make*. Even more sadly, the solution is pretty hacky and somewhat brittle. Still, it should cause no regression with the non-GNU makes (as they will continue to use the old implementation), and I have verified that it works with at least all the GNU make versions >= 3.78.
I see that there is a new test which tests for GNU make. How solid is it? For example, the GNU make I use under MinGW is called 'csmake' (for "Case Sensitive make") because the default MinGW GNU case-insensitive make is horrendously slow, taking a couple of minutes before it does anything at all. It seems that someone decided that MinGW make needs to be case-insensitive and it operates via brute-force, trying every case permutation. If a network is involved, this becomes frightfully slow. As a result, whever I would normally type 'make' I type 'csmake' instead.
