Subject: Report: iproute2 build broken?

I have to admit i am being lazy here digging into the
root cause but normally iproute2 should just build
standalone regardless especially when it is a stable
version:

$ cat include/version.h
static const char version[] = "5.18.0";

$make
..
....
.....
  CC       iplink_bond.o
iplink_bond.c:935:10: error: initializer element is not constant
  .desc = ipstats_stat_desc_bond_tmpl_lacp,
          ^
iplink_bond.c:935:10: note: (near initialization for
‘ipstats_stat_desc_xstats_bond_lacp.desc’)
iplink_bond.c:957:10: error: initializer element is not constant

          ^
iplink_bond.c:957:10: note: (near initialization for

There's more if you fix that one given a whole lot
of dependencies

cheers,
