This is a known bug in the latest DJGPP port of GNU Make: it doesn't 
support long filenames.  It should be corrected in the next release of 
DJGPP.  For now, you will need to set LFN=n in the environment before 
running Make, and set the NameNumericTail property in the registry to 0.  
For details see sections 8.2 and 22.14 of the DJGPP FAQ list (available 
as v2/faq201b.zip from the same place you get DJGPP).
