If headers_install is executed from a deep/long directory structure, the

with:

| make[2]: execvp: /bin/sh: Argument list too long

Instead of passing each files name with the entire path, I give only the file
name without the source path and give this path as a new argument to
headers_install.pl.

Because there is three possible path, I have tree input-files list, one per
path.

I come back to this issue. Here is another proposal to fix this pb.
Comments are welcome.

  scripts/Makefile.headersinst | 20 ++++++++++++++------
  scripts/headers_install.pl   |  8 ++++----

In the kbuild tree the perl script has been replaced by a shell script.
You should base you patch on the kbuild-tree (or -next).

Yes. Otherwise, the patch looks good. At least until the number of
userspace headers explodes :-).
It should be ok for the next 2 or 3 versions ;-)
