You should make linux/version.h, linux/autoconf.h before kernel
headers installation.

cd /usr/src/linux
# configure the kernel
make menuconfig
make include/linux/version.h
make include/linux/autoconf.h
cd include
cp -r linux /tools/include
mkdir /tools/include/asm
cp -r asm/* /tools/include/asm
cp -r asm-generic /tools/include/
