I guess it is OK to do so, since we might need headers for v10 and/or v32 CPUs. The only catch would be to make correct symlink to the desired arch-vxx directory.

It is cris specific, I was not aware of the problem existing on other architectures.

I think that other arches are not affected as long as the whole need for headers goes (haven't really tried out). It is kernel bug in cris port that can't handle the headers for arch-v10 and arch-v32 correctly. So once the Axis has complete solution in order to pull all required headers from the source tree this problems will vanish.
