The headers were to address the following issues that occurred while
compiling busybox1.18.4. I'm using GCC-4.6.0 and Musl 0.9.11. I've
passed the extra cflags -D_GNU_SOURCE -Dfdprintd=dprintf. My target is
armel-unknown-linux-gnueabi. While compiling busybox I got the following
errors:
> CC networking/ifconfig.o

After turning off ifconfig I get the following:
> networking/libiproute/ll_types.c:11:26: fatal error: linux/if_arp.h:
> No such file or directory

Since these headers come from the kernel and not Musl I suspect its a
busybox issue. Any insight would be appreciated.
