[re mysterious failure to build inflate.o]

First make sure you're building from a completely clean tree. Then you
might try using make's -p rule to dump the internal decision database.
Also, see what happens when you try to build the .o file directly, eg
'make arch/i386/boot/compressed/inflate.o'.

If none of that works, it's time to start trimming down makefiles to
build a minimal failing case.
