I think I found it:

   make -C tools/ <tool>_<command>

and:

   make tools/<tool>_<command>

work the same on all commands but actually:

   make -C tools/ nolibc_headers

fails while:

   make tools/nolibc_headers

works. I've essentially used the latter by simplicity without noticing
that it doesn't work as suggested with <tool>_install, and I guess
that's what you got.

I'll check why it's like this and will propose a fix.

Thanks,
Willy
