A new release of iproute2 is done with each kernel version, but there is a wide range of compatibility. Newer versions of iproute2 will still work with older kernels, but there are some limitations.
If an iproute2 command with a new feature is used with an older kernel, the kernel may report an error or silently ignore the new attribute. Likewise if older iproute2 is used with an newer kernel, it is not possible to use or see new features. The range of compatibility extends back as far as the oldest supported Long Term Support (LTS) kernel version.
arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev. DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package.
The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.
This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile if you have special requirements and need to point at different kernel include files.
