Extracting headers from a grsecurity patched kernel triggers additional build steps that require gcc plugins. For this to work, we'd need to add gmp, libmpfr, and libmpc to the build inputs as well as run `make prepare` before installing the headers (lest the build fail due to missing files). Out-of-tree modules use kernel.dev and user space should use the Linux API headers used to build libc, not headers extracted from random kernels, so fixing this for grsecurity is pointless.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
