Version 2.0 of glibc has no support for IPv6.
-Not all the IPv6 functionality is implemented in the kernel. As of
-2.1.51, the code to delete IPv6 routes is still missing, and these
-operations will fail silently. The code to delete IPv6 interface
-addresses has been written, but not yet (again, as of 2.1.51) merged
-with the mainstream kernel distribution.

You may find that you are missing files such as <netinet/ip6.h>. This is
not a bug in net-tools; you should find some newer include files.
