I guess the patch doesn't change the situation here. Mixed case filenames on such filesystems have always been a problem. This patch just introduces different handling of .s/.S files in automake. gcc is already treating those files differently so there shouldn't be a great difference with or without this patch. > Do we need to support filesystems which don't preserve case? I don't think we have to special-case them. Most things still work but if you want to store several files that only differ in case then you have to use a case sensitive filesystem. It's that simple ;). But perhaps you are right and we should not separate handling of .s and .S. autodep could be set for assembler files unconditionally. I haven't yet tested if gcc would be confused by that. And somebody should take a look at other compilers, too. -- Martin Waitz
