This is almost definitely because you're trying to compile on an HFS+ or 
HFS filesystem, which is case-insensitive.  I'm not certain whether 
build.sh under OS X works, but at the very least, you'd need to  do it 
on a UFS filesystem... it should be OK to use a mounted image from a file.

Try it, and let us know!
