Hey Ludo,

Thanks for you reviews :).

> For which package did you have a needed for that?

That's for libnl which has python2 and python3 outputs for python
extensions. However, we do not currently support cross compilation of
python extensions.

Adding cross compilation of Python extension would be the right thing to
do but it's really hard. Nix is also struggling on that, see:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/53320.

So I don't have anything better to propose. WDYT?

Thanks,

Mathieu
