What is this /usr/include/linux/if_bridge.h file and why does it include
linux/in6.h? That may be there in the kernel distribution, but at least
/usr/include/linux/if_bridge.h from linux-libc-dev on Ubuntu is a
cleaned up version that does not include linux/in6.h. Why would this be
different for musl? Shouldn't this be fixed in the kernel headers
instead?
