Thanks for your input. FYI it's about iproute2 v3.0.0 (2011).

I'm ok if we don't want to bother with this (and with patch for
netns_netlink.c [1]). But if you're ok to fix it for the release,
I'd send new patch which fixes it similar way as the fix for netns_netlink.c:
here just run "ip netns" to detect required support instead of checking version
info.

Kind regards,
Petr
