Iproute2 has always supplied it's own sanitized kernel headers. This allows it to be built on older systems where newer definitions in kernel headers are missing. If you point the kernel header for either kernel package or glibc, it can't build. This was done to avoid having to have source full of #ifdef XXX. Kernel user API is stable enough that newer versions of iproute2 fine. If a new feature is requested on old kernel it is reported as an error or ignored.
