Summary:                    iproute2 'OVERRUN: Bad address' on x86_64
Description: 
Binaries from iproute2 from buildroot doesn't work on x86_64. It gives
'OVERRUN: Bad address' message. NETLINK is set in linux kernel, but it
seems, the problem is in communication [see strace output].

On irc someboyd [mnemoc] has got the same issue. He had different gcc
[gcc-4.1.1]. He has x86_64 as well. As he reported, on another
architecture [I guess i686] the problem disappears with the same
environment. He tried uclibc-0.9.28 as well without success. As he
reported, with diet libc it works well with same version of kernel,
iproute2 and compilation conditions.

I also tried iproute2-2.6.16-060323 but didn't help. As we the traces
shows, the problem might be with uClibc.
