$ git checkout v5.4
$ make headers_install
$ grep ip.h usr/include/linux/if_tunnel.h
#include <linux/ip.h>
The one installed by v5.4 has ip.h. I just confirmed it from git.

Ok. How is it getting a version that doesn't #include <linux/ip.h>? If it's
using actual include/linux/if_tunnel.h
c19e654ddbe38 (Herbert Xu 2008-10-09 11:59:55 -0700 5)#include
<linux/ip.h>
>From 2008. If it's include/uapi/linux/if_tunnel.h:
1fe8e0f074c77 (Mikko Rapeli 2016-08-22 20:32:39 +0200 7)#include
<linux/ip.h>
Which is the aforementioned:
$ git describe 1fe8e0f074c77
v4.8-rc2-209-g1fe8e0f074c7
What is alpine's version changing to remove the include of ip.h? Where did it
get a version without it _from_? Do your build scripts remove it? 5.4 shipped in
November 2019, the commit was 2016.

I'm being asked to add a workaround for a problem I don't understand.
