Currently the set of available syscalls is generated from the
target compilers default <asm-generic/unistd.h>
(i.e. /usr/include/asm-generic/unistd.h on a self-hosted system).
The numeric values are then generated by the host compiler using
tools/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h .

This leads to some nasty version skew problems (including failed perf
builds if you are running a bleeding edge distro and want to build an
older version of perf for testing).

Let's make the target compiler use the local headers too.
