Ewww.

Yes.  Building the file during make dep, and *not* removing it during make
clean (remove it during distclean, leave it present during clean) would fix

So, we've never had a real kernel-headers package before.  I guess once we get
one that's right, we should re-spin glibc even if it's a binNMU.
