Is it crazy to think we could grab the linux version from the job name?
:-D

linux-6.6.86-arm64:
  script:
    - linux_version="$CI_JOB_NAME"
    - linux_version="${linux_version#linux-}"
    - linux_version="${linux_version%%-*}"
    - ./scripts/build-linux.sh "$linux_version"

That would avoid having a job building a version of linux that is
different than the expected one, which can happen easly when duplicating
an existing job for building a new version of linux.

With LINUX_VERSION been set just before, this test doesn't make sense
anymore, or the error message is wrong.
