Since commit 59b2bd05f5f4 ("kbuild: add 'headers' target to build up
uapi headers in usr/include", 2019-06-04), composing the user-space
header tree is separated from the actual installation to
$(INSTALL_HDR_PATH)/include. Thus, you do not want to depend in
'headers_install' but on 'headers' instead.
Nevertheless, I am suspecting that this leads to trouble. E.g.: if
scripts/* include $(objtree)/usr/include/asm/*.h this will probably
break cross-arch-building.
Kind regards,
Nicolas
