    I'm trying to install kernel headers to build a cross-toolchain, but got
    the following:
    
    make ARCH=arm
    INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/work/psl/eldk-builds/arm-2009-04-21/work/var/tmp/crosstool-0.43-3-root/usr/crosstool/gcc-4.2.2-glibc-20070515T2025-eldk/
    +arm-linux-gnueabi/arm-linux-gnueabi/
    headers_check
    ...

    Introduce use of xargs to fix this.
