Hi, Mike,
Please take a look at my first email in this thread. The user application includes <linux/if_bridge.h> and <netinet/in.h>.
<linux/if_bridge.h> uses struct_in6 but doesn't include <linux/in6.h> (this is my bad, sorry), an obvious fix is just including <linux/in6.h>. But this immediately breaks applications which include <linux/if_bridge.h> and <netinet/in.h>, just as what Thomas reported.
And if_bridge.h is kernel-specific, there is no corresponding glibc one, so you can't blame applications which include both of them.
Thanks.
