As some packages need to refer to the kernel header files, we're going to unpack the kernel archive now, set it up, and copy the required files to a place where gcc can later find them.
Prepare for the header installation with:
make mrproper
This ensures that the kernel tree is absolutely clean. The kernel team recommends that this command be issued prior to each kernel compilation. You shouldn't rely on the source tree being clean after un-tarring.
Create the include/linux/version.h file:
make include/linux/version.h
Create the platform-specific include/asm symlink:
make symlinks
Install the platform-specific header files:
mkdir /tools/include/asm cp include/asm/* /tools/include/asm cp -R include/asm-generic /tools/include
Finally, install the cross-platform kernel header files:
cp -R include/linux /tools/include
