I think I've got to the bottom of this and the issue is running the build on 
Windows 10 1803 (and may be specific to having the bash subsystem enabled)...

It appears that Microsoft made NTFS case sensitive in 1803 with no global way 
of turning this off. Visual studio generates various pathnames with incorrect 
case and so, whereas this was fine with a case insensitive file system, it now 
completely breaks things.
Still looking for a workaround.
