Thanks to Fred N. van Kempen

The problem was with the configure script assuming that it was using GNU
grep (most open source software is compiled and developed on X86
linux) which by default is not case sensitive. So what I did was sed for
all instances of grep and replaced it with grep -i and it does the trick

Microsoft treats IT managers the way Proctor & Gamble treats nine-year-old
prospective consumers: lots of noise, bright colors, and jumping around.
Other software vendors just wish they could be so successful.
