You are partly right (it has something to do with a case insensitive 
filesystem), but the problem may exist also for case insensitive 
operating systems, because GNU Make is always case sensitive (even on 
case insensitive file systems and case insensitive operating systems -
 e.g. under OS/2). I'm afraid that this is rather difficult to fix in 
the Make script; the only possibility is probably ensuring that such 
files (with different case from the original source file name) are 
never created by FPC.
