I changed as follows:

diff --git a/usr/include/Makefile b/usr/include/Makefile
index fa9819e022b7..169fca1a0f28 100644
--- a/usr/include/Makefile
+++ b/usr/include/Makefile
@@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ UAPI_CFLAGS += $(filter -m32 -m64 --target=%,
$(KBUILD_CFLAGS))
# USERCFLAGS might contain sysroot location for CC.
UAPI_CFLAGS += $(USERCFLAGS)

-override c_flags = $(UAPI_CFLAGS) -Wp,-MMD,$(depfile) -I$(objtree)/usr/include
+override c_flags = $(UAPI_CFLAGS) -Wp,-MMD,$(depfile)
-I$(objtree)/usr/include -nostdinc

# The following are excluded for now because they fail to build.

I got this:
