Sounds like the case-insensitive make behavior is still biting us, then (which we previously determined only afflicts in-place builds); I guess Stepan's patch didn't work as expected [1],[2]. Could you please track down the config.log snippets related to checking for case-insensitive make (ie. what is MAKE_CASE_SENSITIVE set to in the Makefile.in?)
