Description
Using current master:
$ python setup.py bdist_wheel
running bdist_wheel
running build
running build_py
creating build/lib/tensorflow_privacy
error: could not create 'build/lib/tensorflow_privacy': Not a directory
OS X uses a case-insensitive filesystem, though it maintains the case when displaying names. The build process creates a ./build/ directory. This works on Linux since the filesystem is case-sensitive, but not on OS X. Locally renaming the file to BUILD.txt allows python setup.py bdist_wheel to succeed.

Research direction
Start with the repository's top-level BUILD file and the setup.py build entry point described in the report. Run python setup.py bdist_wheel on macOS to reproduce the directory conflict; done means the wheel build completes without the Not a directory error.
