Re: ELL 0.59 Does Not Compile against Linux-4.9.212 and/or GLibC-2.28

Hi Grant,

Then if openssl gives you trouble, try doing:

have_openssl=no ./configure ...

This will disable certificate tests in ell (which are only useful for EAP).

The EXT_ACK support is purely for debugging.  If we fail to set that option on 
the socket, we ignore it, so that should be safe.

The missing RTA_EXPIRES should hopefully just be ignored by the kernel.  But it 
was introduced in 4.5, so you should be fine ?
