There's a patch you can apply listed on the page (read carefully). It
will only work if you only want to build kernels (i.e. no glibc, no
userspace).

The other alternative is to install *target* kernel headers (not
/usr/include) and build against those. This is just silly if you don't
want glibc, but the toolchain people are apparently too busy to care.
