Why cheat?  Simply say thus:

	gcc -c file.S

This should work, at least from the DOS command line, because DOS is
case-insensitive, but gcc is not.  If it doesn't work, please post the
command line you use and the exact error message(s) that you get.  If the
above does work from the DOS prompt, but not from a Makefile, please post
the shortest Makefile that exhibits this problem and the error message(s)
that you get, and somebody will help. 

Also, please tell what version of DJGPP and what version of Make do you
use.
