Do you mean that fpc treats class_SSremoteServer and
class_SSRemoteServer as different units?
Or do you mean it treats them as the same unit?

It turns out that the problem was a case error after all. The message
was:

SSRemoteServerLx.lpr(36,3) Fatal: Cannot find class_SSremoteServer
used by SSRemoteServerLx of the Project Inspector.

And the actual file on disk was named class_SSRemoteServer.pas

After I changed he identifier in the uses clause from
class_SSremoteServer
to
class_SSRemoteServer

then Lazarus moved on to the next such typo which I could fix in the
same way...

So it looks like it is case sensitive on Linux...
