actually, i would probably start *precisely* with the headers based on
"git pull" just so, if there was a recently introduced problem, i'd
spot it immediately and could fix it ASAP.

but other than that, we clearly agree here -- the pure, unaltered
output from "make headers_install" should *theoretically* work as the
kernel headers for crosstool.  good.  now, what about the next step
involving binutils ...? :-)
