Hi,

my assumption is that connman uses a strange include order. Can you try
to remove the #include <linux/libc-compat.h> from from
include/uapi/linux/if_ether.h please. This would not be the final
solution but would help to understand the problem better.

I will look into this more closely in the evening.
