Success!
Everything appeared to work as expected once I set this up on the default WSL partition. I haven't looked into why, or what this issue represents, but simply following the Onion guide was sufficient. For the record, I still feel dirty about this.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I thought I would take a break from this for a couple of projects and come back to it later. There is a long weekend coming up so later is now ^^.
Thanks again for your assistance and perseverance @cas; I appreciate your insight!
@Jonathan-Zwart although I would like to state how glad I am that this isn't just a Windows symptom, I do empathise with your circumstance. Did you overcome this issue?
I recently came across these:
I did admittedly get a little excited after all the positive comments and sounds of success, however my success was limited:

Description-en: Tool for generating GNU Standards-compliant Makefiles
Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in's from
files called `Makefile.am'.
.
The goal of Automake is to remove the burden of Makefile maintenance
from the back of the individual GNU maintainer (and put it on the back
of the Automake maintainer).
.
The `Makefile.am' is basically a series of `make' macro definitions
(with rules being thrown in occasionally). The generated
`Makefile.in's are compliant with the GNU Makefile standards.
.
Automake 1.15 fails to work in a number of situations that Automake
1.4, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11 and 1.14 did, so previous versions are
available as separate packages.

@cas Thanks for your input and conversation; it has been greatly appreciated! ^^
@cas Again, great point.
elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion$ cat t
cat: t: No such file or directory
elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion$ echo "t" > t
elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion$ cat t
t
elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion$ cat T
cat: T: No such file or directory
Seems correct.
I wonder why your output in Windows is different. Did you run it in a volume root - case sensitivity isn't present the root? Are you using WSL, or an alternative like cygwin?
@cas That's a fantastic point!
I just looked into it, and apparently NTFS IS now case sensitive specifically for this reason. For anyone interested, it is described here.
Appears to be working sufficiently; that's not to say there isn't an edge case that results in some idiosyncratic behavior during the make execution.
elliot477569@Helium2:~$ cd /mnt/d/Onion/
elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion$ touch test.md
elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion$ touch Test.md
elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion$ ls
source test.md Test.md
With regard to confirming it is actually GNU m4 - I'm not sure, but it looks suspiciously similar to yours:

Description-en: macro processing language
GNU `m4' is an implementation of the traditional UNIX macro
processor. It is mostly SVR4 compatible, although it has some
extensions (for example, handling more than 9 positional parameters to
macros). `m4' also has builtin functions for including files, running
shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc. Autoconf needs GNU `m4' for
generating `configure' scripts, but not for running them.

Thanks for the advice!
I have been using the docker container for cross compiling which has worked sufficiently however it is a painfully clumsy workflow for me. Without making extra utilities and tooling to speed things up, getting cross compilation working in Windows is my preferred solution.
All the prerequisites are easily installed in accordance with the Omega2 documentation, and menuconfig works fine, however compiling appears to get stuck pretty early on. I've been fumbling through Linux development so far without major issue, however I'm not finding the output too constructive in discerning the cause of my woes.

How do I go about resolving this - or even understanding what the actual problem is?
autom4te: need GNU m4 1.4 or later: /mnt/d/Onion/source/staging_dir/host/bin/m4 tells me that I need some package called m4 of version 1.4 or later. Great; got it.

Any constructive advice would be greatly appreciated.
