"It's not a bug, it's a feature". Files-as-directories is part of what reiser4 is.

I see two issues here.

First, reiser4 giving an EACCES or ENOENT where classically an ENOTDIR would be
expected. So this is different behaviour. That doesn't mean that it's wrong;
Hans has made it clear that files-as-directories is the direction reiser4 is taking.

Second, even if a reiser4-specific patch were possible the situation remains
that (on any filesystem) an inaccessible directory somewhere along the include
path breaks that #include statement. I have tried but I can't think of a good
reason for this behaviour. I can file it as a separate bug blocking this bug if
you want.
