Subject: [PATCH] fix headers_install for x86-64.

Signed-off-by: Rob Landley <rob@...dley.net>

A bug in headers_install for ARCH=x86_64 yields an asm/ directory full of 
files all of which are using the same #ifdef guard, "__ASM_STUB_" with no 
postfix.  So the second and later asm files #included in the same C file 
(often through standard headers like ioctl.h) yields no symbols.

--
There's a missing semicolon after the assignment to FNAME (so the assignment 
of STUBDEF on the next line doesn't see the value), and it helps to export 
variables before calling a subshell.
