This stuff (common development tools) is called `stdenv`.
It is available as `pkgs.stdenv`, but the interesting part is here:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/stdenv.

The kernel is available as `pkgs.linux_<version>` e.g. `pkgs.linux_3_18` (I
think stdenv includes only the headers). Make is `pkgs.gnumake`, GCC is
`pkgs.gcc` etc.
