Motivation for this change

https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/FAQ#What_version_of_the_Linux_kernel_headers_should_be_used.3F

The headers from the most recent Linux kernel should be used. The headers used while compiling the GNU C library and the kernel binary used when using the library do not need to match. The GNU C library runs without problems on kernels that are older than the kernel headers used. The other way round (compiling the GNU C library with old kernel headers and running on a recent kernel) does not necessarily work as expected. For example you can't use new kernel features if you used old kernel headers to compile the GNU C library.

maybe it should be defined according to linux_latest:version then or linux_latest.headers (dunno if that exists)

Do we also need a PR that upgrades the main linux kernel to 5.10?

No.

runs without problems on kernels that are older than the kernel headers used.

If someone merges this, then consider merging #106324 as well since they both require rebuilding stdenv.
