Filename case-sensitivity of make

Dear Cygwin Developers
A am jusing Cygwin make (in UNIX mode) on a WinNT platform. Until now I a
have defined all rules explicitly like
main.o: main.c
gcc -c main.c
which is case-insensitive regarding the source file. However, an implicit
rule like
%.o: %.c
gcc -c $*.c
seems to be case-sensitive. This gives problems when sharing source files
between computers with WinNT and Win95, as Win95 sometimes changes the case
of the filenames. Is there any particular reason for this strange behaviour?
Kind regards
