Yes, drop the DEPENDS completely.
Dependency on linux-libc-headers is implicit, as those are part of the system 
headers. Similar to eglibc, gcc and everything else you need for compiling the 
code - all those dependencies are taken care of automatically.

Ok, so I ended up looking into their Makefile and what they try to do there 
with KBUILD_OUTPUT... Besides few errors in their script, what they try to do 
is to check couple header files for availability of specific features and at 
the end pass corresponding defines to their source code. When crosscompiling, 
your target kernel is different from host kernel, hence they try to locate the 
correct /usr/include/linux/net_tstamp.h just to see if it contains definition 
for HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC. But that header file hasn't changed in at least 
5 years... They also check time.h to have clock_adjtime.
Anyway, it should be possible to short-cut those checks, but at the end they 
need to define these: -D_GNU_SOURCE -DHAVE_CLOCK_ADJTIME -DHAVE_ONESTEP_SYNC
We can pass those to EXTRA_CFLAGS directly:

EXTRA_OEMAKE = "CROSS_COMPILE=${TARGET_PREFIX} ARCH=${TARGET_ARCH} \
                EXTRA_CFLAGS=\"-D_GNU_SOURCE -DHAVE_CLOCK_ADJTIME \
                -DHAVE_ONESTEP_SYNC\""
