nolibc.h has been greatly expanded since then, it's a set of 30 includes
now. It's also a lot more useful now.

I've checked experimental, as that's the branch relevant for forky.

Today I'd argue it _is_ a libc of sorts, thanks to scope creep.

Looking at the current state, I propose skipping this tool's Makefile which
introduces unneeded moving parts and makes the header arch-dependent. It
also has hardcoded assumptions like installing directly to
${OUTPUT}sysroot/include and so on. All of this just to avoid 5 files.
Thus, it'd be enough to install:
tools/include/nolibc/*.h /usr/include/nolibc/
Meow!
