So we basically can have zero, one or both of
A) target toolchain with libc support
B) host toolchain with recent enough kernel headers

Just can idea - in case we have B, but not A, would it make sense to
build $(uapiprogs-y) with the host compiler, but without the
-Iusr/include flag? The question is whether to add a kconfig knob for
this, or some automatic detection for libc support of the target
toolchain. I'll come up with a patch later.
