It is a common practice in gcc and gdb.

It is ok to have files with the same name in src/gdb/config and
src/gdb/config/machine as long as

1. We never use -Isrc/gdb/config/machine. It has been true and I don't
think we should change.
2. We always use <> to include files in src/gdb/config/machine. That is
how it is done in gcc and I have sent a patch to do the same in gdb for
Linux:
