I had a look at libax25 git tree and the rose.h and ax25.h there are copies
from glibc sources which in turn are modified copies from age old kernel
headers. My suggestion is on Linux platforms to use the linux kernel headers
which will co-operate nicely with glibc headers with these changes if you need
something from them which are not available in glibc headers yet.
