Seeing how the kernel headers are installed after gcc pass1 and  
binutils pass1 in ch5, then that is a problem since /tools/include is  
populated. If you install the kernel headers right at the beginning,  
then it wouldn't be a problem as /tools/include wouldn't exist at that  
time.

Final system kernel headers install wouldn't be  a problem as /usr/ 
include isn't populated.
