    I noticed this because you have to specify ARCH for "make headers_install" but
    don't have to specify a CROSS_COMPILE prefix for that because it doesn't
    build anything. Yet the first line it spits out is a complaint that it can't
    find m68k-linux-gnu-gcc.

    I do note that the error message doesn't stop the build, and seems to be
    ignored...

    *shrug* This is the eleventh target I've tried to build, and the first one
    that has this behavior. It seemed unnecessary at best.
