I very much doubt it.

1) And as far as I'm aware, MacOS has the same features, and does
exhibit the problem.

2) Case-preservance only makes a difference when asking a file for its
name or listing the files in a directory, but not when searching for a
file by name, along a path list.  Rather that's where the insensitivity
hits.  A path search mechanism would have to go out of its way to read
back the actual file name of any file it found, to see if the case
matches, too.

On inspection I did not find any mention of <version> in the dependency
information collected by my local compilations, though.  So possibly my
local, MinGW and Cygwin versions of the tools and libraries in question
(wxWindows, stdc++, ...) are not quite new enough to trigger the problem.
