My guess would be that you are compiling under win95 with LFN enabled,
and you unzipped Allegro with pkunzip. The problem is that Allegro wants
to compile bank.S (with a capital S so it gets run through the C
preprocessor) but pkunzip isn't LFN aware so it didn't preserve the
filename case when unpacking the archive. For now, just set LFN=n and it
should build ok.

This problem will be fixed in the next release - I'm now using the
'-x assembler-with-cpp' compiler option instead of the capitalised file
extension, so the makefile will work regardless of LFN status.
