Just tell gcc to use a .S extension - it doesn't matter what the real
filename is.  For example:

  gcc ... file.S

is treated differently than

  gcc ... file.s

regardless of the real case of the filename.  Read the gcc docs that
come with DJGPP for more info; the place to look is in "Invoking
GCC|Overall Options".
