The problem here is that userland programs are _not_ allowed to use
kernel headers, iirc, even programs which are tied to the kernel in some
way.  They _must_ make a local copy of the include file which they
actually need.  I suspect the actual problem is that iproute2 only needs
a very small amount of what is in include/linux/inetdev.h
