--with-headers assumes you have access to the target.  You copy the 
entire contents of the target's /usr/include to the build machine, and 
then you use --with-headers to point at the copied tree.

If you are trying to build a glibc based cross compiler from scratch, 
then --with-headers by itself doesn't help you much, because you don't 
have a target /usr/include directory to copy.  You need a more 
complicated build process for this.
