OK. In the mean time you're welcome to keep using your local patch. :) In fact part of the new Guidelines for Distribution on the wiki was written with this specific issue in mind: http://wiki.musl-libc.org/wiki/Guidelines_for_Distributions This issue will be fixed at some point in the future, hopefully in 1.1.2. I would very much like to find a solution where we get "acceptable" behavior on BSD kernels that implement the Linux syscall API but not netlink, however. > 7.
