When MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX points to a case-insensitive file system, the build can break when different source files create the same object files (case-insensitivity speaking). This is the case for object files compiled with -fpic and shared libraries. The former uses an extension of ".So", and the latter an extension ".so". Rename shared object files from *.So to *.pico to match what NetBSD does. Also: o Compile _Exit.c as C99_Exit.c, as it conflicts with _exit.s o Add entry to UPDATING o Document .pico extension
