how to make a more detailed report than just that all netlink operations
in iproute2 fail. so the whole ip command doesnt work.
i tracked it down to recvmsg / sendmsg which do not return in success
for some reason. if i send it more detailed, which means i debug out
the real cause would also mean submit a better patch. just had no time
yet to care about since my hack works.
but does not fit to your philosophy. its easy to reproduce on any octeon
device using musl and iproute2.
