Subject: iproute2 compile and linking errors on Fedora 19

Hi,

The latest iproute2 in git fails with the following compile error on
Fedora 19 (I know it is very old!):

xfrm_state.c: In function ‘usage’:
xfrm_state.c:104:36: error: ‘IPPROTO_MH’ undeclared (first use in this function)
  fprintf(stderr, "%s", strxf_proto(IPPROTO_MH));
                                    ^
xfrm_state.c:104:36: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only
once for each function it appears in

After fixing it manually by including <xtables.h> in each of these C
files, the compilation is okay but now it fails with linking errors:

This is the GCC on Fedora 19:

I don't know if people still care about it. I think iproute2 should
compile with older kernels/distros. I can dig this deeper when I have
time.


Thanks.
