Well, this is annoying.

You add the rule to test and install this, and "make help" will list
"nolibc" as a target, but that is not actually true at all.

So what's the appropriate way to actually test this pull somehow?

I'm guessing it's along the lines of

    make ARCH=x86 nolibc_headers

in the tools directory, but then I got bored and decided I need to
just continue the merge window.

I've pulled this, but it all makes me go "Hmm, I'd have liked to maybe
even build test it".
