Build failed in step 'Installing kernel headers'

[Bob Brumfield <bob dot brumfield at gmail dot com>]

I'm trying to use the crosstool-ng in cygwin to build a cross-compiler
for the Raspberry Pi.  I've upgraded my gcc/g++ to 4.6.3 (and I've
tried 4.7.1) and am running into a problem after the pass-1 of the
core compiler when it's on the step of "Installing kernel headers".
The error I get is:

[ERROR] make[4]: *** [netfilter] Error 2
[ERROR] make[3]: *** [linux] Error 2
[ERROR] make[2]: *** [headers_install] Error 2
[ERROR] make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2

[32:40] / /opt/cross/bin/ct-ng:148: recipe for target `build' failed



The build log doesn't provide many more details:

I'm fairly new to crosstool-ng, so any advice is welcome.

Thanks!
