Not surprising.  The maintainers of the affected parts of the
kernel refuse to support case insensitive filesystems.

You should probably not use that patch for real kernel work.
Instead, if you're stuck on cygwin, mount a directory
in managed (i.e. case sensitive) mode for building the
kernel; then you don't need the patch.
