Ok, I can see how that is confusing.  It does pertain to my
particular setup.  In general, I found compiling libnl,
iw, hostapd, kernel and related tools a twisty maze of little details
and ended up compiling them in completely non-standard locations
to make it easier to not mix things with the host OS's libraries.
