OK, so I see now looking in meta/lnx-bbc/bbc-contents that iproute2
is still commented out.  Makes sense, I guess, should one want to
build STABLE on a glibc2.3 box.  Oh well.

Anyway, I'll still pass on these pointers into the other lists so
folk on the lnx-bbc list can get a leg up on the recent branching.
