Brought up in #467, when cross compiling Lix with something like nix build --impure -E 'let f = builtins.getFlake "git+file:$PWD"; pkgs = import f.inputs.nixpkgs { crossSystem.system = "aarch64-linux"; }; in pkgs.callPackage ./package.nix { }, Meson complains that it doesn't know what kernel it's compiling for:

meson.build:422:18: ERROR: Kernel not defined or could not be autodetected.

I assume this was caused by a Nixpkgs change or possibly a Meson regression, and can probably be worked around with some changes to a cross file or native file.

yeah that should be fixed with a cross file, surely??? either that or we can change from using kernel to something slightly different.
