Hello all,

Unfortunately, received no replies, but the problem still persists.

Probably, I was unclear describing the issue. It is not the busybox
build problem - any application including exported linux/if_tunnel.h
could fail the linkage because of unresolved __cpu_to_be16().

Here is a reduced testcase program:

#include <netinet/ip.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <net/if_arp.h>
#include <asm/types.h>

#include <linux/if_tunnel.h>

void foo(void);
void foo(void)
{
	int a = GRE_CSUM;
}

How to reproduce:

bash> arm-linux-gcc -c t.c
bash> nm -n t.o
         U __cpu_to_be16
00000000 t $a
00000000 T foo

As you see, __cpu_to_be16 is undefined, so linking will fail.
Adding <asm/byteorder.h> to if_tunnel.h, as I suggested, fixes the
problem.

Thanks for any comments,
Sergei
