Heh, you're quite right, the path has been the same for a long time,
and the file has moved into this directory from one directory deeper,
so logically, we should get a compile error here.

However, the CRIS-port has a bunch of include paths, at different depths,
and it seems that one of them is used to pick up the relative path to
"lib/inflate.c".

I'll add the following to the CRIS-tree:


Correct include path for "lib/inflate.c"

The include path was one too deep to pick up the file from ".",
but some other include path obviously matched so there was no
compile error.
