Documentation in kbuild/headers_install.txt is not up to date regarding paths where the headers are installed.
This patch fixes the documention with the correct information. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Cc: Kirill A.

The command "make headers_install_all" exports headers for all architectures simultaneously.

You also can use HDR_ARCH_LIST to specify list of architectures. -Remember to provide the appropriate linux/asm directory via "mv" or "ln -s" +Remember to provide the appropriate asm/ directory via "mv" or "ln -s" before building a C library with headers exported this way.
