You can see build issues on patchwork:

Also:

So the question is if I should repost the fixed patch-set or I need to
make
a new version?
A new fixed version (v7) is required, but wait for this version to be
reviewed first.
Anyhow I hope that there will not be problems when running the
selftests, as
I have not been able to do so with my system, so there can be more
that
needs to be changed.
It's not really acceptable to post tests that you haven't run... What
exactly is the issue? You should be able to run the tests with veth
pairs in a VM.
It is only the blackhole test that I have not been able to run as is,
but I have stepped it manually as far as I could.
My environment has changed lately and in that context the building of
the selftests fails and I don't know why,I just get some error
messagesabout missing header files, and setting up a whole system like
f.ex. linuxfromscratch with the necessary libs and tools to run it in a
VM is too time consuming a task at the moment.
If there is some freely available system for the purpose out there
besides my own system based on Buildroot that does not work now, please
let me know...
