[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] linux-libc-headers: do_install: fix "Argument list too long" error

There would be an "Argument list too long" error when the TMPDIR is in a
deep dir, for example, when "len(readlink -f TMPDIR) >= 350 (our
supported value is 410)". Use "$(foreach ,,$(shell echo))" to fix it.

There was already a patch which tried to fix this issue, so squash the
current change into the previous one as Bruce suggested.
