Do the other iproute2 include/linux/* headers actually work now? My
experience building it in the past has been that you have to rm -rf
that directory to get it to build at all since it contained outdated
and clashing versions of those headers. Maybe something has changed in
recent versions.

This is odd and looks like a gcc bug. Preprocessor macros definitions
are sequences of PP tokens, not literal code strings, meaning that
whitespace is irrelevant as long as the resulting sequence of PP
tokens remains the same; it's a matching definition not a
redefinition.
Anyone else have thoughts on what's going on?
