Eventually build of python-2.7 on linux-3.0 and the like which use uname
to determine kernel version, and they don't know about linux-3 yet.

The alternative would be starting a VM for building. Then you could set
the kernel to build packages in configuration.nix.

However if kernel API is always backward compatible then this might be
overkill.
