Hmm you're right. Though maybe we can have additional
commands/configure options specific to the aarch64 builders? They could
download a kernel tarball, install the headers somewhere (that doesn't
take long, no need to build the kernel) and point to them. Sergio,
would that be possible/a good idea?

See this for the Buildbot, in particular the try jobs:

I don't think updating the kernel on the AArch64 machines is an option,
but we have control over what the buildbot does.

Ok, thanks.
