This is annoyingly difficult to get right, as older kernel release
strings with an ABI number that needs to be stripped off while newer
kernel release strings with no ABI number but may have a number at the
start of the flavour.  Having said that, I don't see us ever having an
ABI number as high as 686 so that could be special-cased.

Until this is fixed you can use the -f option to explicitly specify the
flavour to build.
