I didn't even realize uclibc had such a script.  I asked the kernel
build scripts to install headers for me before building uclibc.

There is no way uclibc can keep up with changes in the rules needed to
install kernel headers, so it shouldn't try.  Besides at best it is
duplication of code and effort, and at worst it does it wrong.
