I've been building for for MACHINE=wrap (which is i486) with
linux-libc-headers 2.6.15.99 and everything is fine. If I change to
MACHINE=x86 (which is also i486), without changing anything else (ie,
still using linux-libc-headers 2.6.15.99), then it fails with the
"checking for kernel header at least 2.6.17" error.

If I change the OLDEST_KERNEL = "2.6.17" in machine/x86.conf to
OLDEST_KERNEL = "2.6.15" (still using linux-libc-headers 2.6.15.99)
then x86 works fine as well.

So it looks like with linux-libc-headers 2.6.15.99 (or earlier)
things are fine, but with linux-libc-headers 2.6.18 things break
unless you have those *at patches. And this is regardless of what
target you are building for.

Now the question is  how to make all these things play nicely
together...
