To write ad-hoc iproute2.mk is not general way. Especially the replacing -o2
with the CFLAGS by the sed. You don't need iptables integration but I do. I
don't need IPv6. I don't need ATM but it was switch on in my system by
./configure that use host dirs instead staging. You suggest to hardcode
settings. It's not good.
