To build the Linux kernel

I know about this. My cross-compiler is OK. I cross-build many stuff with it.
But Linux kernel build process needs some specific tools, like modpost. They are also built from sources, but they are built to run on the host, not on the target. And of course they use host's (Cygwin's in our case) gcc with its includes.
These tools operate on newly built ELF files, this is why they use these includes.
