Note that it is case-sensitive about the extension. "TEMP.pas" works fine.
If you want to use upper-case names, GPC won't recognize them automatically
as pascal source files, but you can precede them on the command-line with the
-x option in order to specify the language manually:

This behaviour should be the same on Linux, although I haven't checked.
