nixpkgs-suyu/lib/eval-config.nix
Eelco Dolstra c958902d44 * Added an option "nixpkgs.system" to specify the system type for
which NixOS should be built.  This is useful in NixOS network
  specifications, because it allows machines in the network to have
  different types, e.g.,

    {
      machine1 =
        { config, pkgs, ... }:
        { nixpkgs.system = "i686-linux";
          ... other config ...
        };

      machine2 =
        { config, pkgs, ... }:
        { nixpkgs.system = "x86_64-linux";
          ... other config ...
        };
    }

  It can also be useful in distributed NixOS tests.
