The tests were made to work under UNIX so if any of the filenames differ only in the case of the alpha characters, the test will fail on any Windows system. You could change the test scripts or simply ignore any errors relating to "same-file" statements. Ignoring the errors may be difficult if the make exits for each error condition. You could try using the -i to ignore errors or a -k to abandon work on the current item but continue with the next. Check the man page for make for details on the options.
