Unfortunately this bit of magic is currently not working as right above
this block LIBNL_CFLAGS is unconditionally set:

dnl netlink library

LIBNL_ROUTE3_CFLAGS=""
LIBNL_ROUTE3_LIBS=""
LIBNL_CFLAGS=""
LIBNL_LIBS=""
have_libnl=no

if test "$with_linux" = "yes"; then
    # When linking with netcf, we must ensure that we pick the same version
    # of libnl that netcf picked.  Prefer libnl-3 unless we can prove
    # netcf linked against libnl-1, or unless the user set LIBNL_CFLAGS.
    # (Setting LIBNL_CFLAGS is already used by PKG_CHECK_MODULES to
    # override any probing, so if it set, you know which libnl is in use.)

This causes libnl3 to be used on my f17 system where libnetcf is linked
with libnl1. If I'm not mistaken, the 4 lines setting LIBNL_* to "" can be
safely removed. I've checked that after this change my f17 box picks
libnl1.
