10 I had a similar issue just recently when I built a crossdev environment
11 for ARM on an amd64 system. I'm not exactly sure how it happened any
12 more but I suppose it has to do with a later version of linux-headers
13 being stable for the platform you want to crosscompile for than for your
14 native one. Which isn't the case when I look now, perhaps the keywords
15 have just been updated? For me, installing crossdev with -s1 helped, I'm
16 only compiling for an embedded system anyway so I don't need the
17 headers. Maybe just try again after an rsync?
