the mini-lkh's are really mini... currently they're barely enough to 
compile a small subset of busybox.

until they become more sophisticated, you can use sabotage's multi-arch
kernel headers tarball:

http://ftp.barfooze.de/pub/sabotage/tarballs/kernel-headers-3.3.4-1.tar.gz

imo a good alternative to downloading the full kernel sources to compile 
the headers.
an additional advantage is that kernel headers are often broken,
the version used by sabotage is known good.
