-    iproute2: fix build failure on ppc64le
-
-    ppc64le build fails with error on ifstat.c when
-    -Wincompatible-pointer-types is enabled:
-
-    ifstat.c: In function ‘dump_raw_db’:
-    ifstat.c:323:44: error: initialization of ‘long long unsigned int *’ from incompatible pointer type ‘__u64 *’ {aka ‘long unsigned int *’} [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
-      323 |                 unsigned long long *vals = n->val;
-
-    Several other warnings are produced when -Wformat= is set, for example:
-
-    ss.c:3244:34: warning: format ‘%llu’ expects argument of type ‘long long unsigned int’, but argument 2 has type ‘__u64’ {aka ‘long unsigned int’} [-Wformat=]
-     3244 |                 out(" rcv_nxt:%llu", s->mptcpi_rcv_nxt);
-          |                               ~~~^   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-          |                                  |    |
-          |                                  |    __u64 {aka long unsigned int}
-          |                                  long long unsigned int
-          |                               %lu
-
-    This happens because __u64 is defined as long unsigned on ppc64le.  As
-    pointed out by Florian Weimar, we should use -D__SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__
-    if we really want to use long long unsigned in iproute2.
-
-    This fix the build failure and all the warnings without any change on
-    the code itself.
