Exactly how the build machine works is not my area of expertise, but I  
think it works the other way around: The header files are installed to  
your homedrive, and accessed from there by the SDK Build Engine:

If I search my host for files called .h, then I find large numbers in  
the folder below (or its subfolders)

/Users/christopherlamb/SailfishOSAlpha5/mersdk/targets/SailfishOS-i486-x86/usr/include/

e.g. qcamera.h in  
/Users/christopherlamb/SailfishOSAlpha5/mersdk/targets/SailfishOS-i486-x86/usr/include/qt5/QtMultimedia

One of the shared drives of the SDK VM is  
/Users/christopherlamb/SailfishOSAlpha5/mersdk/targets, so it will  
have access to the header files found above.
