I notice that the latest snapshot and git repository for iproute
will not compile on FC5 due to not finding __constant_hton* symbols
and a lack of the hdlc/ioctl.h file on FC5.

I am attaching a patch that appears to fix the problems for me.

Please consider applying this or something similar.

I added include/linux/hdlc/ioctl.h to the santized headers in the
current git.

That seems to fix the hdlc issue, but it still will not link due to missing
symbols:

The attached patch fixes this.
