for me i would install all those kernel realted files into the well known /lib/modules/<kernel-version>.

IMHO the script should let you install the headers
wherever you like. In particular, in crosstool,
I would like to install the headers somewhere like
/opt/crosstool/$TARGET/include rather than /usr/include.
