Probably, this does not work for O= build.

And, you also need to run 'make headers' somewhere
because usr/include does not contain any header in a clean state.

Be careful, people always tend to break out-of-tree build.
I recommend to double, triple check it.

(I believe this is a horrible design mistake
of the tools build system.)
