Compilation on at least MacOSX 10.5.7 fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

guydhollosy has tested compiling /trunk on MacOSX 10.5.7, and found out it
failed to compile
with the following error:

Size)’:

Note that it throws errors about include/String.h (uppercase 'S'). It seems
it can't find
any functions declared in lib/libc/string.h (lowercase 's'), because it
thinks #include <String.h>
is the same as #include <string.h>. Their filesystem is probably
case-insensitive. A simple test
confirms this:

17:39 <@ddr-> guy-laptop-2:FreeNOS guydhollosy$ ls Bin
17:39 <@ddr-> SConscript bench cat echo hostname ls memstat mknod mount
parse ps sh
stat uname
17:39 <@ddr-> guy-laptop-2:FreeNOS guydhollosy$ ls bin/
17:39 <@ddr-> SConscript bench cat echo hostname ls memstat mknod mount
parse ps sh
stat uname

We may be able to fix this issue, by either find a way to disable the
case-insensitiveness or
placing all include/*.h files in a separate directory, like: #include
<FooBar/String.h>.
