Actually, in this case net-tools really is almost completely to blame. It
used the presence or absence of OLD_SIOCSIFARP to decide whether or not
SIOCSIFARP actually referred to the "old" or "new" variant. This would have
gone wrong under libc5 as well if the OLD ioctl was deleted in some future
kernel.

(It's also fixed in net-tools now, in case you were wondering)
