The Intel C++ compiler [1] is not able to locate the header files without
relative path in Windows. We get the following error for these header
files.

# base\common.h(9): error : cannot open source file "cxgbe_compat.h"
    #include "cxgbe_compat.h"
                             ^

We could reproduce the same error by removing the above two lines for
Linux. To keep it consistent across both OS, I'm using relative paths
for both.
