You do not need to provide information about the build environment.
This would fall under the "System Libraries" aspect of the GPL.  You are
specifically not required to provide "System Libraries" along with the
source code.

Of course, if there is some unique aspect to your systems which is
required to build the source code that you provide, then you must
provide enough information for people to able to build the source code.
But if your systems are more or less standard GNU/Linux, then you don't
have to say anything about them.
