[bug #64806] "invalid output sync mutex" on windows

[Peter Heesterman]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #64806 (project make):

5.32.1.1-64bit
    gmake.exe 14/03/2019 - EPICS base 7.0.7 builds fine with this.

5.38.0.1-64bit
    EPICS base constains a file 'print.cpp', which should of course compile to
'print.obj'.
    But the make utility puts this in upper case so the outfput file is
'PRINT.obj'.
    This cause subsequent linker fail, as the file 'print.obj' does not
exist.
    This is the most usual and reproducible fault, but there are others.

This fault ocurrs with:

    mingw32-make.exe 04/06/2023 Fails cannot open input file print.obj
    make.exe 04/06/2023 Fails cannot open input file print.obj
    gmake.exe 04/06/2023 Fails cannont open input file print.obj

I built the GNU make 4.4.1 code from sources using Visual Studio 2022.
This results in 'gnumake.exe'.
EPICS base builds fine with this.
