Question about cross-compile builds failing

[<Greg dot Chandler at wellsfargo dot com>]

I've got a system that I am doing builds on so that I can get an PXA-255
based system up and running.  It's x86_64.  My cross-compiler works, and
I have booted ARM kernels that it has built.  I'm using the ARM-tree
maintained by Russell King.

Since this isn't a native system, and not the same tree as the running
kernel the headers do not live /usr/include/.

The build seems to require this no matter what I set at the configure
level.  Here's what the configure/make shows.  Am I doing something
wrong or was it designed this way?  I've also tried undoing the defines
for the USB since I really don't need it, but that didn't work for me
either.
