+Include <sys/types.h> to get the u_int* definitions
+
+This is needed to fix the build with the musl C library, and this
+patch comes from
+http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/plain/main/libnfnetlink/musl-fix-includes.patch.
+
+It will no longer be needed with upcoming upstream releases of
+libnfnetlink, since they have switched to use the <stdint.h> types
+instead. However this change was too invasive to backport.
