hmm, but the problem is more general. even when taking build platform out of derivations, you'd still end up with massively different derivations because the build tools themselves would be different
so what would be nice is if Nix had a system where derivations can substitute certain fields for other values for the purposes of output path hashing only. nixpkgs would then use that to substitute buildPlatform by hostPlatform at hashing time, and native deps would be substituted by versions built for targetPlatform rather than hostPlatform
