Yes. this bug only happens on case insensitive file systems.

Bob, Sorry I was confused by the commit comment `inconsistent path case`. So this was only a bug on case insensitive file systems? I’m paranoid as macOS support case and case insensitive file systems and we have had a lot of strange bugs in the past.

From the https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html os.path.normcase(path) Normalize the case of a pathname. On Windows, convert all characters in the pathname to lowercase, and also convert forward slashes to backward slashes. On other operating systems, return the path unchanged.

Does this work on case sensitive file systems?

When we do macro replacement, we can't replace macro due to inconsistent path case, which results in inconsistent display of incremental build and clean build in makefile.Therefore, the path is converted to achieve the correct macro replacement.
