hang on, i'm not talking about where to *find* the generated headers,
i'm only talking about the *content*.  how you choose to add those
headers to your build is up to you.  all i'm after is agreement that
the files *produced* by that step would be correct to use for
crosstool.  let's not make this issue any more complicated than it has
to be.
