package/linux-headers: add comment to safely ignore missing cross-compiler 



For some architectures (eg. Arc, Cris, Hexagon, ia64, Parisc, Score and
Xtensa), the Linux buildsystem tries to call the cross-compiler when
installing the headers.

This is a spurious call, since a cross-compiler is not needed at all to
install the headers.

As some users have reported the issue, just add a comment in linux-headers.mk
directing the user to ignore those errors.
