Either additional entries, or upcase what's there.   If you don't want 
to modify the linker, then you're either adding what amount to 
duplicate vector entries differing by case (or whatever), or you're 
using a stub / shim image and faking out a link.   If the linker were 
in play — which it is very likely not — then shove everything into the 
vectors as-is, and let the linker upcase it all when you're following 
VMS norms.   This also assumes that there is a way to upcase a string 
consistently, and which gets gnarly with some languages.
