Your patch was pending my comments - sorry.


Why not:

lib-y := $(addprefix lib/zlib_inflate/,infblock.o infcodes.o inffast.o \
                                       inflate.o inftrees.o infutil.o)
lib-y += div64.o
lib-$(CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE) += vreset.o kbd.o

No need to use that ugly relative path.
I do not like this way of selectng .o files. It will so
obviously break the build with make -j if there is no synchronisation
point. vmlinux provide this synchronisation point in this case.
But in this particular case I see no better alternative.
