I think that's a bit brutal. Looking a bit at the OpenVPN code, it
looks like NLMSGERR_ATTR_MAX is only used by the DCO code added in
commit e34437c26b764851555e4acbe2ccca6bec235c7e, and this code can be
disabled using --disable-dco. Which we actually already support:

ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_LIBNL),y)
OPENVPN_CONF_OPTS += --enable-dco
OPENVPN_DEPENDENCIES += libnl
else
OPENVPN_CONF_OPTS += --disable-dco
endif

So I guess the correct fix is rather:

ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_LIBNL)$(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST_4_16),yy)
OPENVPN_CONF_OPTS += --enable-dco
OPENVPN_DEPENDENCIES += libnl
else
OPENVPN_CONF_OPTS += --disable-dco
endif

Could you check this?

Best regards,

Thomas
