It is already fixed in iptables:

https://git.netfilter.org/iptables/commit/include/libiptc/ipt_kernel_headers.h?id=0bb1859e2d6dd79a0a59c3ee65f6a78cba118b86

Please sync the header with iptables.

Ok, I resynced all the iptables headers (into net-next branch).

Compile tested only. I don't use this, it would be good if someone
who actually uses xtables would test.

[PATCH iproute2 0/2] Build fixes for the musl C library

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello,

The following two patches fixing build issues that occur when trying
to build iproute2 with the musl C library (http://musl-libc.org).

Thanks,

Thomas

[PATCH iproute2 1/2] Avoid in6_addr redefinition

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Due to both <netinet/in.h> and <linux/in6.h> being included, the
in6_addr is being redefined: once from the C library headers and once
from the kernel headers. This causes some build failures with for
example the musl C library:

In file included from ../include/linux/xfrm.h:4:0,
                 from xfrm.h:29,
                 from ipxfrm.c:39:
../include/linux/in6.h:32:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct in6_addr’
 struct in6_addr {
        ^
In file included from .../output/host/usr/x86_64-buildroot-linux-musl/sysroot/usr/include/netdb.h:9:0,
                 from ipxfrm.c:34:
.../output/host/usr/x86_64-buildroot-linux-musl/sysroot/usr/include/netinet/in.h:24:8: note: originally defined here
 struct in6_addr
        ^

In order to fix this, use just the C library header <netinet/in.h>.

This header file comes from iptables. Please fix there, otherwise
on next time someone does merge from there it will break.
