I don't believe so, I think this is specific to Windows.

I had a problem with this and GnatMake told me to submit it as a bug,
which I did.  The reply I got was that GNAT was working correctly.

If I had to guess (with fear of being corrected), I'd say that, while
Win32 allow mixed case, it is case-insensitive, and some of the tools
GNATMAKE uses are UNIX-based and case-sensitive.  This probably
wouldn't cause a problem on an OS that either didn't care about case
(i.e. VMS) or was case-sensitive.
