I had the same problems some time ago. I found a little trick, but this
isn't realy helpful but demonstrates, that there must be a bug in libc or
make.

If LFN is enabled, make does not find a file, which is longer than 8.3.
But if there exists a file with the first 8 characters equal to the long
name and the same extension, the long file is found by make.

In your example you can test it by creating a file 'thetestf.c' and do
your tests again.
