I can think of two possibilities which might have solved without having to
change distro:
-
With vfat filesystems, the mount option "posix" will make Linux respect
case, else upper and lower case file names are considered the same. See
also the "shortname" option in the vfat options section of the mount
manual page.
-
If the mount options thing just doesn't work, you could have created a
loop back filesystem inside a file on your vfat filesystem, formatted it
with ext2 or something similar, mounted that and done your eclipse work
"inside" this.

vfat not respecting all uppercase filenames
Note, the following seems to be working
mount -t vfat -o users,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,posix,shortname=winnt /dev/sda15 /lfs/cache13
