yes it does. i checked it 30 minutes ago

it only affects mips64 so far. not x64. i checked both using dd-wrt

with mips64 (octeon) the whole netlink code in iproute2 doesnt work. it
simly fails since recvmsg returns no data. sendmsg is likelly broken in
the same way since it uses the same struct
my dirty musl hack again fixed it by using the same datatypes used in
the kernel. so this might be mips specific.
currently musl does convert the non conform kernel structures to posix
specified structures, but this doesnt seem to work for mips64
