I had a bit of doubt and checked libnl-3.0, libnl-3.1, libnl-3.2.0
While the patch perfectly work for libnl-3.2.0..3.2.2 :
- it break libnl-3.0 where previous code would have work (no
libnl-genl-3.0.pc)
- libnl-3.1 had a libnl-genl-3.1.pc, so Makefile is broken with previous and
new code

Unsure there is a need to support 3.0 and 3.1 when three 3.2.<x> versions
exist?
