I'd guess that this is a case-sensitivity (or non-sensitivity, in this
case) issue.  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.

Good luck.
