Memo to self:  When installing the kernel headers, specify the %*#(&%& 
architecture or you get the i386 headers, which is not right when 
cross-compiling for x86_64.

  make headers_install ARCH=x86_64 INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/blah/blah/blah

The ARCH= part is _important_.

The clue was getting to:

./include/asm/posix_types.h:10: error: redefinition of 
typedef '__kernel_ino_t'
./include/bits/kernel_types.h:11: error: previous declaration 
of '__kernel_ino_t' was here

And noticing that asm/posix_types.h started with this:
#ifndef __ARCH_I386_POSIX_TYPES_H
#define __ARCH_I386_POSIX_TYPES_H

Right...
