Unfortunately, building BIRD 2.14 on CentOS/RHEL 7 fails like this:

While I assume that the kernel in CentOS/RHEL 7 is simply too old to
support the desired functionality in BIRD, is at least possible to have
the change #ifdef'ed (or so), that it builds without the new feature?
Sorry, support for CentOS / RHEL 7 has been discontinued due to a too old
kernel version and backwards-incompatible Netlink changes. I think the
easiest way would be to add a dependency on a newer kernel, e.g. kernel-lt
which is now afaik 5.4 (supported).
Or you can try to revert commit d61505b039bf0aa6697e28b2a4e07907c89ba1fb. I
can't guarantee it working out of the box, though.
Or rather f8bcb037b5b71a19209f1b63d52895c8c34c675b
Oh sorry, messed up two commits from the same person, mea culpa. You're
right, disregard my hash, please.
Thank you for correcting me.
