I would guess that this holds true in general, but it really shouldn't
be applicable to cross-compiling a Linux kernel under OS X (or
Darwin).
Because the kernel does not rely on an external C library, it really
shouldn't be looking in /usr/include for its header files. A properly
built cross-compiler will look in its own private header directories
for any .h files needed, but most of the ones required by the kernel
are in its own include/ and include/asm directories.

all I can say is that if you find yourself having to do this, you
would be wise to mention these changes to the authors when you report
build problems with a package. Usually, if a compiler can't find an
include file, something went wrong during configuration.
