Not really: currently, the compiling shell script uses the
Makefile.inc file to automatically get the source names to compile from
CSOURCES. If I rename some files, this strategy wont work anymore. The
alternatives I have are:
- Not using CSOURCES anymore: means I have to maintain a parallel file
list.
- Generate module name from a hash of the source name: this will
probably avoid the current collisions, but may generate some others. In
addition, it will make hard for a human to recognize modules.
- Maintain a name mapping array for the collision cases: not so easy in
a non-bash shell :-(

Thanks for your suggestion anymay :-)
