I think this is because W2K's implementation of the LFN API sucks big
time (and the same for XP).  IIRC, one of those bugs prevented
automatic downcasing of 8+3 file names, such as MAKEFILE.  You should
build Make with a patched DJGPP library (or get a prebuilt version
from Charles W2K Sandmann's page), to have that fixed.
