busybox-static linking failed

busybox-static linking failed

[Steffen Sledz]

After a long time i tried to build an initramfs image containing
busybox-static which fails to link (besides some warnings) with these
errors:

/home/OE/tmp.3/work/armv5te-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/busybox-static-1.11.3-r22.1/busybox-1.11.3/networking/libiproute/iptunnel.c:189:

This is really obscure for me because i can't identify the code lines
responsible for them. :(

This fixes the missing include inside the kernel. My patch suggestion
adds the missing include inside busybox. I would prefer the kernel
patch. Any objections?

This patch have not been applied in kernel upstream yet. So it would
be nice to get
an idea if this will be pushed upstream or not. Otherwise patching
busybox will be
right thing to do. May be you can ping the author of kernel patch to
retry to push
it

Thanks
