Building the kernel headers tarball is different from building all other Packages.
The kernel headers are a requirement to build the toolchain.
The command
./buildtool.pl headers linux
builds those headers in the directory headers
in the buildtool root directory and creates a link in repo/tolchain/linux-headers
.
As we are moving away from the tarball code containers to a true git environment creating these tarballs has become obsolete.
Please note, that toolchains can support different kernel versions, which may be useful especially in transitions to a newer versions, where not all toolchains will be supported immediately. It is advised to keep the kernel headers for the oldest kernel a toolchain uses.
