Actually, you do have a point there. I forgot about 2.6.18 because I've
been working with 2.6.19-rcX where the Makefile dependencies aren't as
broken. My apologies. Nevertheless, my original point about not omitting
"headers_install" still stands.

IMHO the problem is "make headers_install" and "make headers_check" are a
bit rough around the edges in 2.6.18. Situation is somewhat better in
2.6.19-rcX but it seems there are other issues to contend with there (for
a later discussion).
