You probably need a smarter version of basename. The sysV basename
is such that:
if
x = ` basename u.c .[cC]`
then $x = u.  The shell script CC uses this fact to take care of the 
names of things.

You don't need to mess with basename!  (Of course if you really want to...)
Instead you can split the above line into two lines, like this:

	A = `basename $B .c`
	B = `basename $B .C`

Now that I think about it, this will fail if you have a file name like
myfile.C.c, but such cases are rare.  Anyway, this is the change we made
on our Sun 3 and it has worked fine for us so far.
