[libvirt] Redefinition of struct in6_addr in <netinet/in.h> and <linux/in6.h>
(Cc'ing some glibc developers...)
Hello,
In glibc source file inet/netinet/in.h and kernel source file
include/uapi/linux/in6.h, both define struct in6_addr, and both are
visible to user applications. Thomas reported a conflict below.
So, how can we handle this? /me is wondering why we didn't see this
before.
Thanks.

Well, I suggested the same fix in the beginning of the thread
on netdev and lkml: "if_bridge.h: include in6.h for struct in6_addr use"
as it seemed to fix the libvirt case
but then asked it to be ignored after I tried to build connman,
and hit this conflict with glibc-2.17:

So I'm not sure it's the right one...
