[Bug libc/4461] compilation failure for glibc 2.5

[dragos dot dimitriu at gmail dot com]

config.status file has set the correct path to system headers :

s,@SYSINCLUDES@,-I /lib/modules/2.6.19/build/include,;t t

Inside the /lib/modules/2.6.19/build/include/linux there is the header resolving
at least the unresolved symbols IFA_ADDRESSetc., called if_addr.h.
That is also where the struct ifaddrmsg is defined probably solving the
`dereferencing pointer to incomplete type` error.
But still, this path is used.

Many thanks for your support
