When building your kernel, which linux-libc-headers provider are you using?

Have you ensured that you did a "-c fetchall" for the image you want to
build so that all the downloads are sure to have downloaded before you
switch to no network?

Note that linux-libc-headers-yocto is the default linux-libc-headers
provider, and it uses the 2.6.37 yocto recipe, so it will need to
download that repository as well.
