Building with a custom git kernel the kernel headers that end up in the staging
directory to compile packages against are not from the kernel that I have
selected to build for the system. 

I am building with an older 2.6.35 kernel from our own git repo but the kernel
headers that packages are compiled against are from a newer version. The
problem showed up when tslib wouldn't load because the ev version differed and
when I check the staging directory sure enough the include/linux/input.h has a
different EV_VERSION than my 2.6 kernel.

I'm not sure where its pulling the headers from? I did a little digging but
couldn't figure out where it attempts to find them.

This is from the 2012.11.1 release, I downloaded the git version as well and
the same problem exists. I am cross compiling for armv5te on i.mx28 evk with
codesourcery toolchain downloaded by buildroot. I'd be happy to implement a
patch if someone could point in the right direction for where to look in the
build system to find where it pulls in the kernel headers.

This was due to using a codesourcery toolchain that was compiled against newer
kernel headers than my kernel version.
