Created attachment 513540 [details]
config.mk example with USE=minimal (when both libelf and libmnl are installed)

Note that configure in this package is not quite auto-tools compliant.
The generated config.mk will include CFLAGS and LDLIBS for both libelf
and libmnl, if those libraries happen to be installed.
See the attached config.mk for an example...

The expected USE semantics should _prevent_ this from happening.

One option may be to fix up configure by including this snippet
-------
if use minimal; then
    sed -i 's/^check_\(elf\|mnl\)$/echo n/' configure

fi
-------
*before* the "default" action in src_configure...

    sys-apps/iproute2: fix libmnl/libelf/libselinux automagic.
    
    libmnl, libelf, libselinux were being linked automagically.
    Fix by improving Makefiles.
    
    Tested on:
    - USE='-minimal -iptables'
    - USE='-minimal  iptables'
    - USE=' minimal -iptables'
    - USE=' minimal  iptables' (reported by broken per bug)
