I think that makes much more sense. How about doing it that way, perhaps something like this?
By the way, doesn't case insensitive HFS+ have the same issue?
-- >8 -- [Subject] MinGW: avoid collisions between "tags" and "TAGS"
On case insensitive filesystems, "tags" and "TAGS" target will try to overwrite the same file. Allow MinGW to use "ETAGS" instead.
These two targets do produce real files; do not put them on .PHONY target list.
