Hello! While building the iproute package in Debian I get warnings from package helpers like this: dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if debian/iproute/sbin/tc debian/iproute/usr/bin/lnstat debian/iproute/bin/ip debian/iproute/bin/ss debian/iproute/sbin/bridge debian/iproute/sbin/rtmon were not linked against libresolv.so.2 (they use none of the library's symbols) The -lresolv in ./Makefile seems to come from pre-historic times (before iproute2 git history, possibly from libc5/pre-glibc days). I couldn't find out if/why there was any reason for linking to libresolv. Does anyone know if there are any valid reasons for keeping it still? If not, I'd be happy to see it go.... while at it I also removed includes of <resolv.h> which I also couldn't find any reason for, but this is just an added bonus of the patch (and there are probably more unneeded includes that could be dropped in the same sources).

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm
arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.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.
2. make
The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.
3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
PAGESIZE=a4 , ie: a4 , letter ... (string)
PAGESPERPAGE=2 , ie: 1 , 2 ... (numeric)
and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
are in your path.
4. 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.
