there are a number of architectures that generate warnings (and, in one case, an error) if you try to do:
$ make ARCH=whatever headers_install when you don't have an appropriate cross-compiler installed. this doesn't seem to make sense as you shouldn't have to do any actual cross-compiling if you're just trying to install headers, should you? the examples (i already mentioned the ia64 example on that list): $ make ARCH=m68k headers_install make: m68k-linux-gnu-gcc: Command not found CHK include/linux/version.h HOSTCC scripts/unifdef MKDIR include ... etc etc ... $ make ARCH=h8300 headers_install make: h8300-elf-gcc: Command not found make: h8300-elf-gcc: Command not found CHK include/linux/version.h make[1]: `scripts/unifdef' is up to date. UNIFDEF include/asm/page.h ... etc etc ... $ make ARCH=sparc64 headers_install /bin/sh: sparc64-linux-gcc: command not found make: sparc64-linux-gcc: Command not found CHK include/linux/version.h make[1]: `scripts/unifdef' is up to date.
