README.klibc: update build information
It seems this file was still conveying the old way to build klibc and hence confusing the users, simplify and reword build instructions. Signed-off-by: maximilian attems <max@stro.at>

The build procedure is not very polished yet, but it should work like
this:
-a) In the source root directory (the directory above the one in which
- this file is found) create a symlink called "linux" pointing to the
- target of "make headers_install" from a recent Linux kernel tree.
- This can be done by extracting the Linux kernel into a directory,
- running "make headers_install" for the appropriate architecture,
- and then making a symlink to the "usr" subdirectory of that directory
- tree.
