The first one of the two comes from "make defconfig", which definitely needs
a working $TARGET compiler, but isn't actually needed before
"make headers_install" as I just checked.

The syscall list for ARC is still not generated (that's on my todo list), but
something does call it even for "make headers_install".
What it does is to set Makefile variables such as
CC_VERSION_TEXT = $(shell $(CC) --version 2>/dev/null | head -n 1)
and trying out all kinds of gcc options that may or may not be supported
such as "$(call cc-option,-fno-tree-loop-im)".
Setting CC=: avoids this, like
make -s CC=: ARCH=$i headers_install INSTALL_HDR_PATH="$PWD/fruitbasket/$i"
