(1) Can that series of ../../../.. be replaced by $(objtree)?
If so, that would be much cleaner IMO.

(2) I can't find anything that checks that ../../../../usr/include exists
(or has been installed via 'make headers_install').  Or anything that
requires that CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL be set/enabled.  Well, other than
a Makefile error, but that's not a nice way to find out.

Preferably we would have some Kconfig check/enforcement or at least some
documentation.

Thoughts?

thanks.
