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.
