Subject: [PATCH] pkgsLinux: set crossSystem instead of localSystem
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

As the doc implies, we should be using crossSystem to build *for* the
Linux platform natively instead of hoping that the system has a remote
builder or substituer with the right set of packages.

While this could be considered a breaking change, pkgsLinux attribute is
used exclusively for nixosTests and is a relatively new addition so
there shouldn’t be many external users that would be affected by this
change.
