Run a command that attempts to use policy-based routing (doing something "benign" like a listing). If it fails then good chance that it isn't compiled in :-) [ or it may simply mean that the appropriate modules are not loaded, so beware that one :] That command would need to be /sbin/ip or /sbin/tc or whatever. If you want to ferrit out what proc looks like with and without routing policy enabled, that would be another way to do it.
