We used to have our own copies of inflate.c etc. for the zImage wrapper code to use under arch/powerpc/boot. Then someone said "why do we have two copies of these files?" and did a patch to make the build process copy the files from lib/zlib_inflate over and compile them. (We can't just use the compiled .o files from lib/zlib_inflate because the wrapper is 32-bit whereas the kernel is often 64-bit.) Now it seems someone has made changes to the lib/zlib_inflate versions that are OK in the context of the kernel but not in the zImage (which is a separate program). Avoiding this kind of breakage was the reason why I made arch/powerpc/boot have its own copies originally. So Andrew, what do you think is better - arch/powerpc/boot having its own copies of the zlib_inflate stuff, or #ifdefs of some kind in lib/zlib_inflate/*.c?
