I realize it was already merged (wasn't asking for academic purposes),
but rather wanted you to verify that the patch is not needed on your end
so that I could revert it. I can build with gcc/clang even without the
patch. With the patch, the build is broken on Fedora as "yacc" is not a
build dependency [1]. Verified this with a clean install of Fedora 35:
Can't build iproute with this patch after running "dnf builddep
iproute". Builds fine without it.

I booted a Fedora 35 VM and see what you mean. I can not find the
difference as to why Ubuntu 20.04 is ok and Fedora 35 is not, so I
reverted the patch.
