[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1720747] [NEW] cannot extract release tarball on case-insensitive filesystems

[degaart]

Public bug reported:

Extracting the release tarball for qemu-2.10.0 results in an error on
case-insensitive filesystems (e.g: macOS) because one is a directory
(qemu-2.10.0/roms/u-boot/scripts/Kconfig) and the other one is a file
(qemu-2.10.0/roms/u-boot/scripts/kconfig).

All other files are extracted correctly, and the resulting source can be
built correctly.

But tar returns with an error, which creates difficulties when trying to
automate the build process (e.g: homebrew).
