Since it also breaks unless you have lzma causing headache, 
I think the default should be to not use the lzma patch...

I am working on a new scheme where the target/linux and
toolchain/kernel-headers are integrated, but this
needs a lot more testing and will (as agreed with Bernhard
be reviewed before applied, but it seems reasonable
to do this as an intermediate fix.
