Now that 2.6.9 is final. Here is an update of the iproute2 utilities 
that contains
all the patches in my queue. 

    * lnstat to replace rtstat and ctstat (from Harald Welte)
    * latest xfrm related changes
    * several small typo's and build fixes for older systems

I should actually read mails befor replying ;)  I thought the bug was in
lnstat - but apparently it wasn't.

The include bug seems non-trivial to fix. (how do I hate kernel include
from userspace issues):

apparently __KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES is definde somewhere (glibc?) which
prevents __le16, __le64 and others from being defined in linux/types.h.

Just reietting it like this doesn't help much:


diff -Nru iproute2-2.6.9-041019/ip/iptunnel.c iproute2-2.6.9-laf/ip/iptunnel.c

Since now we have conflicting definitions

gcc -D_GNU_SOURCE -O2 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wall -g -I../include -DRESOLVE_HOSTNAMES   -c -o iptunnel.o iptunnel.c

I'm done with this, maybe somebody with more clue about kernel include
magic will take on from this.

Additional issue:  the iproute2 makefile didn't stop the build process
in the event of an error.   Stephen, plase consider this patch to fix
it:

Try this, ss was dragging in byteorder.h and it didn't need to.

Similar problem to ss in iptunnel. It was including asm/byteorder.h
a kernel header that it didn't need to.
