OK, as far as I can tell (said he, having gone to take a gander at
the sources) I modified proxy.c and proxy_tap.c. In those two files
made the following change in one place in each file:
/*
#ifdef AF_NETLINK
*/
#ifdef NETLINK_TAPBASE
As far as I could tell, 2.0.36 doesn't have NETLINK_TAPBASE defined
anywhere, but AF_NETLINK is, so the ifdef as originally coded succeeds,
so it then tries to compile the enclosed code which then chokes because
we don't have NETLINK_TAPBASE anywhere.
So, operating on the "chainsaw theory" of software engineering :^),
I hid the whole block behind NETLINK_TAPBASE instead of AF_NETLINK
just to see if it worked, and voila, it did!
