The code was built into iproute2, so we don't need the .so file. That rule does not work on arch/x86_64 so I had to do something and the easiest was to simply compile the code in. Like Patrick did with his recent VLAN support. The usefulness of a .so file seems to be distributing the code outside of /bin/ip. Although I think we currently have some issues with mixed 32bit and 64bit systems because we have "/usr/lib/ip/link_*.so" hard coded. A .so file always seems to override the compiled in version so I don't think we loose any flexibility on that front.
