+Subject: [PATCH] Avoid in6_addr redefinition
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+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>.
+
+Original patch taken from
+http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/tree/main/iproute2/musl-fixes.patch.

+The u_intXX_t types are defined in <sys/types.h>, so it should be
