The broken machine is not weird at all, just running a standard
version of Ubuntu (a little older though).
Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (lucid).
On this machine, I have the following version of libc6. Version:
2.11.1-0ubuntu7.10

The defines are not present in sys/mount.h but are in linux/fs.h. When
I include linux/fs.h, ipnetns.c compiles fine (but causes other
problems).
As Stephen said, it is probably the version of glibc that is causing this.

I verified this by trying to compile iproute2 on a newer version of
Ubuntu (Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, precise) which has glibc version
2.15-0ubuntu10.3. Everything compiles fine here.  The defines are
present in both linux/fs.h and x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/mount.h

I found the libc6 version by running 'aptitude show libc6'.  Let me
know if you need any other info.

I didn't realize it was a libc versioning error. Sorry if this was noise.

Thanks,
